A group of frogs are being devoured by hares. The frogs decide to take revenge and trick the hares into jumping off a cliff. They do this by pretending to be singing in harmony with each other, but actually they are all singing different notes. The hares, thinking that the frogs are singing beautifully together, jump off the cliff to get a better view of them.
