Doug is a dung beetle and poo is his life! Right now, Doug is facing a race against time to save his new poo ball from the sudden rains lashing down on the plains of the Serengeti National Park in Kenya. With the help of his lovely wife, Delilah, they roll their poo ball into a hollow in an old, abandoned anthill where bad things happen, including a ferocious fight with Burt the Bully, falling through the crumbling floor of the anthill and nearly drowning, then being wooshed out as the anthill collapses. The rain stops, the sun comes out. Amazingly, their poo ball is still intact, until a passing zebra squishes and squashes it flat as a pancake! Trouble is, Delilah is pregnant. She desperately needs a poo ball in which to lay her eggs. Doug now needs to make another poo ball, and fast! Will he make it in time?
