When a giant octopus makes its appearance, the children are overjoyed and embrace their new friend, finding it to be an excellent slide and a skilled football player. However, some of the grown-ups are less enthusiastic about the octopus's presence. Will they try to chase it away or will they come to appreciate the valuable assistance that the octopus can provide?
