A new take on the famous fairy tale first told by Aesop and later by Jean de la Fontaine. Ket, a guitar-playing cricket, leads a band to entertain the carefree bugs. Nearby lives Antoinette, heiress of the anthill where music is forbidden, and only discipline and hard work are valued. By chance, Ket and Antoinette meet, and an affection grows between them. Antoinette tries to warn the crickets of the impending winter, but they dismiss her concerns. When the over-ambitious ant Antheodor kidnaps Antoinette, Ket and his friends set out to rescue her.
