Froggy Doo has been kidnapped. That's right folks, Froggy Doo, local TV legend and certified puppet, disappeared during a live show in front of hundreds of young fans. And if that's not strange enough, J. Edgar Hoover himself has sent two agents to Montana to investigate the disappearance of Billing's favorite frog. I kid you not".</p><p>Froggy Doo, the wisecracking marionette operated and voiced by Happy Herb, is loved by all the kids -- all the kids except young Elliott.

Soon, Elliott, Ariel, and Rocky band together and embark on a mission to find Froggy Doo. And what starts out as a lark for Elliott becomes increasingly essential as the stakes for him rise dramatically: If he can crack the case before the FBI does, he could win the heart of the girl he's falling for, bond with his little brother, give his mother the reward money (saving the family home), and maybe, just maybe... earn his father's love.</p><p>But the journey is never what we expect, and by the end of the road, everyone has learned a lot more than just who kidnapped Froggy Doo.</p>
