Being a duck isn’t all it’s quacked up to be. But don’t try telling that to Frank—he’s a chicken with a dream.

Luckily, he gets a little human help—in the form of a man-made wet suit and a pair of flippers—and soon he’s the speediest bird in the water. And while Frank knows he’s ruffled a few feathers, he doesn’t care—there’s just too much for him to crow about. Until a certain young chick catches his eye, that is. . . .
