Synopsis
Frank is no ordinary chick; while his siblings are content pecking in the dust, he dreams of swimming in the duck pond. Determined to help, Jemima, the farmer's daughter, crafts a special wetsuit and flippers for him. With his new gear, Frank becomes the fastest swimmer on the pond. But as he grows into a cockerel, Frank faces the challenge of balancing his unique identity with his natural instincts.
