Plot[]
A simple job turned into something much more difficult.
Gramma Alice has been having nightmares, so Cricket and Bill decide to search the garage for her teddy bear. While Bill takes a methodical approach to finding it, Cricket's excitement leads him to discover the teddy bear first. During their search, they also encounter raccoons that Alice had tried to get rid of years ago, only to find that they have been hiding out in the garage and "getting stronger." The two boys manage to scare the raccoons out of the garage, but the raccoons scurry into the house and start causing chaos.
Bill then chooses to set a trap with a cage and a cracker smeared with peanut butter. The trap almost works, but Cricket's impatience allows the raccoon to escape. Frustrated, he and Bill decide to compete against each other to capture the raccoons, with Tilly’s help.
If only either one of them collaborated with each other's ideas.
Bill sets up numerous complicated traps, while Cricket creates a lasso from a watering hose to catch the raccoons. Their different approaches lead to clashing ideas. Meanwhile, Tilly attempts to “become” one with the raccoons and tries to communicate with them by finding their weaknesses. The commotion wakes Alice, who decides to take action to fend off the raccoons.
During the chaos, a large raccoon gets caught simultaneously by both Cricket and Bill, leading to a heated argument between them. The raccoon's loud screech alerts other raccoons throughout Big City, and they storm the house, forcing the Green family out. Cricket and Bill argue again, but Alice intervenes, pointing out that their fighting has only made things worse.
When together, the Green family can defeat any wild animal that crosses their path.
Inspired by Tilly's idea of acting more like the raccoons, Gramma convinces the family to work together as a team to get rid of them. Cricket and Bill agree to put their differences aside for this purpose. The family then re-enters their home and effectively rounds up the raccoons using their unique methods. When Cricket and Bill compliment each other's efforts, they realize there was only one raccoon who was not captured; that raccoon kidnaps Tilly, prompting them to finally bury the hatchet and work together to capture the raccoon and rescue her.
Released into the wild? More like into the rest of Big City!
Afterward, Cricket and Bill head to the park to reconcile and decide to set the raccoons free. Unbeknownst to them, however, the raccoons have moved beyond the park and are now rampaging through Big City, causing significant damage. Suddenly, a lone raccoon jumps out and surprises the viewers.
