Summary:

In Frogtown Hollow, live Emmet and Ma Otter: a family with little money, but lots of love. With Christmas coming, they want very much to buy each other a store-bought gift - but are barely scraping by doing odd jobs. When a local talent contest offers a special prize, Emmet must make a sacrifice to join his Jug-band for the competition. Will the Jug-band prevail or will fierce competition from the Riverbottom Gang steal the show - and the prize?
