A colony of slugs lives in a meadow. One of them asks why they are so slow, but the other slugs get angry with her and she decides to run away. She meets a turtle, who calls her “Rebel”. The two animals find out that men have destroyed a part of the meadow to build houses. Rebel warns her old friends and every animal she meets of the danger. Everyone flees and Rebel finds shelter in a cave. The slugs attach themselves on a log and an owl flies them to the other side of the road. During autumn and winter, the slugs hide and when spring comes they find themselves in a beautiful meadow.
