This is a tale of two young children tasked with cleaning out a pigsty, which housed Porgy and Bess who were being fattened for market. Bess escapes and created havoc and mayhem in the village as the children tried to catch her, much to the annoyance of the townsfolk. Help comes from an unexpected quarter and a major crisis was averted.
