Even though Mr. Budd pretty much keeps to himself, Chester Cricket and his friends love him anyway. After all, he's lived in a quiet corner of the Old Meadow for as long as anyone can remember. Now that the meadow has been made into a historical landmark, though the Town Council of Hedley, Connecticut, has decided that Mr. Budd and his dog, Dubber, should move. Alarmed, Dubber turns to Chester Cricket for help.

Chester rounds up all meadow folk-Walter Water Snake, Simon Turtle, Robert Robin, and the rest-plus newcomer Ashley Mock- ingbird. Together, the animals quickly realize they must put aside their differences and join forces as never before if they are to save Mr. Budd from certain eviction.
