Johnny, a white koala often mocked for his unusual color, becomes part of a traveling carnival alongside Hamish, a Tasmanian devil, and Higgens, a monkey who works as a photographer and talent scout. During their journey across the Australian outback, their trailer detaches and crashes. Johnny is then thrust into the role of a hero, as portrayed by Hamish, while the local inhabitants of the outback attempt to save a kidnapped koala from the clutches of Bog, a massive crocodile, and his dingo henchmen.
