A ground squirrel clears away every scrap of vegetation from the area in which it roams- all in the name os science. A storm comes along and leaves his home under water. His only escape is to flee into space. However, all his attempts fail since nature has a way of bringing everything back down to earth. A critical but very funny statement on pollution of the environment.
