Plot

In the Australian Outback, a desert-dwelling bilby tries to search for fruits while he escapes from a goanna, but bilby comes across an abandoned albatross chick turned on its head. Taking pity on the chick, the bilby flips over the chick, which grows attached to him. The bilby wants nothing to do with the chick, but he can't help but abandon his mission to find more food in order to save the chick from all kinds of predators. Time and again, he tries to leave the chick in a new environment, only to find himself constantly trying to survive a wide variety of dangerous situations, such as facing a pack of dingoes, swimming in a lake of piranhas, passing to spiky echidnas, jumping in a lake full of crocodiles, dodging running emus, being eaten by a great white shark, escaping from a bushfire and many more.
