Gertrude the possum is fat, and she has a big potbelly. Otto the possum is thin, and he has no potbelly at all. Otto always follows Gertrude into the forest to look for food. Otto is scared of the dark. But one night, Gertrude leaves the nest without him, and Otto grows more and more hungry.
How Otto finds Gertrude and develops a potbelly of his own provides a bellyful of laughs.
