As Bob the Tomato and Dad Asparagus embark on a winding journey with a van overflowing with sprightly young veggies heading to a Twippo concert, tensions begin to simmer just beneath the surface. Laura’s exuberant boasts about her backstage pass serve only to infuriate Junior, whose dreams of getting an up-close experience quickly fizzle out when chaos strikes; a wayward guitar unexpectedly knocks Bob on the head. Their luck takes a further nosedive when the van’s tires are punctured by a determined porcupine’s quilled assault, sending them hurtling down a hill towards what seems like certain doom in the water below.
