Baby Bill wants a pet fishy - so he and his sister Little Lill set off down the hill to find one. They're joined by a weird and wonderful menagerie of animal friends - Clive Cat, Dilly Dog, Sid, Sue and Sam Sheep, and, following on behind, Bird and Bee. Faster and faster, they hurry down the slope towards the shore until -CRASH! disaster strikes - and with a big BUMP! the friends tumble and topple into a heap. WAAH-WAAH! cries baby Bill, as his empty bucket drifts out to sea...But all is not lost. Little Lill is brave and bold, and with some special moonlit magic she may yet save the day!
