 Is there anywhere on earth that Limpy can be safe?  All he wants is to be free from the ravishes of the four wheelers that turn his relatives into place mats.  Is there anywhere that a poor cane toad can live free?  After being treated by an environmentalist, Limpy believes that he has been injected with a deadly virus that will wipe out all the cane toads.  He has also heard about a place called national park that protects all living things.  Before he dies, he is determined to find the promised land and lead all the cane toads to toad heaven.
