Flap-Shoe tells a story straight from his childhood involving him and his seven friends, with funny nicknames just like him, who have to play games to pass the time while they are forced to fend for themselves. If that's not bad enough, they have to contend with the nasty crocodiles who live on the hill. But these aren't really crocodiles, and when their games are interrupted by harsh reality, Flap-Shoe and the rest of the gang try to find a way to save an injured friend and find out not every crocodile is destined to stay a crocodile.
