Creole is a big, ugly creature, but she has a heart of gold. When she ventures out into the swamp to make friends, all the other creatures shy away because of her ugly appearance. When she meets an alligator with a simpler problem, the two friends show the other creatures that you should never judge someone by the way they look.
