Amanda, the Panda is a beautiful young Panda but is sad because she is locked in a cage at the zoo and she sees other animals like geese and ganders and butterflies all be free. She recruits a new found friend, Mr. Miller, the caterpillar who accidentally made his way into the zoo by being carried in on a leaf, to help her make an escape by stealing the key that unlocks the cage. However, Mr. Miller is too small and weak to carry the key back to the cage from the tree that the key hangs from. In the meantime, a frog is yelling for help because his leg is caught in twine. Mr. Miller goes to his aid and gnaws the twine off his leg. To repay Mr. Miller, the Frog asks what he can do to help. Mr. Miller replies that he could use him to carry the key back to the cage once it's knocked on to the ground. The frog obliges and the two carry out their plan to help Amanda escape from the locked cage. The plan is successful and Amanda is finally free. She follows Mr. Miller back to his home outside the zoo and they live happily ever after.
