Hildy the pig is excited to join a Pig Pickin’ contest, believing it's a beauty pageant. Her friend Moose accompanies her, but soon grows suspicious as the farmer lavishes Hildy with treats. Is the contest truly about beauty, or is Hildy destined for the grill? Moose must act quickly to save his friend from a sizzling fate. This humorous tale explores friendship and the lengths one will go to protect those they care about.
