Lady Bug - Action Hero! is the story of a beautiful, sweet, and very strong little Lady Bug who lives in the ‘forest of forever.’ She is friends with a ditsy blond butterfly named Betsy, the wise old Mr. Turtle, and Jeremy the frog. Into the forest appears a tap-dancing caterpillar. Later come the ferocious fire ants! Lady Bug saves old Mr. Turtle (who cannot move fast enough) from the ants, using her Karate skills. Into the forest at twilight fly two beautiful Love Birds. They are clearly very much in love. While the forest creatures sleep, a hunter creeps in, and captures one of the Love Birds. To make matters worse, just then a wasp flies in, and heads straight towards Jeremy. Lady Bug rushes to protect him, and the Wasp, so taken aback by the courage of this little bug, breaks down in tears.. They all console her, and become fast friends. Lady Bug now has to find the lost Love Bird. She travels far and long, and finds her at last in the home of a young family who has a little girl. The little girl convinces her parents to let the Love Bird return to the forest. Lady Bug and the Love Bird fly home. There is great rejoicing. But the Hunter returns to finish the job, not realizing there is another member of the family - the Wasp! She attacks him, sending him off howling in pain. And remember the caterpillar? Well from the depths of the forest appears a fuzzy little face - it squirms and rolls around and soon we see a beautiful butterfly - a friend for Betsy. And the moral of the story? A hero can be small in size, but is always big of heart.
