Features: Mr. Pop, the painter, and his family live in the quiet town of Stillwater. He always dreamed of exploring the poles, but he had never left his hometown. He had a comical penguin from Antarctica, Colonel Cook, as a companion. One day, Colonel Cook got sick, and helpless Mr. Pop had no choice but to seek help from the aquarium. To his surprise, the response he received was from a penguin there—Greta! Now, Mr. Pop has two penguins at home, and they quickly increased to twelve. Feeding these hungry little creatures really gave Mr. Pop's family a headache, because Mr. Pop had no job during the winter, and the live fish the penguins needed were so expensive. Additionally, the large refrigeration equipment in the basement had to be paid for. Later, they discovered that this group of little penguins were natural performers! To solve the family's financial crisis, Mr. Pop decided to perform at the theater! Mrs. Pop even became their musician! With the family's tacit cooperation, "Pop's Performing Penguins" became famous along the East and West Coasts of the United States. In no time, it was early April, and the warming weather left the penguins quite confused. However, Mr. Pop had already found the best home for them.
