In an Australian zoo, a group of deadly animals – including Maddie the poisonous snake (Fisher), self-assured Thorny Devil lizard Zoe (Tapsell), lovelorn spider Frank (Pearce) and sensitive scorpion Nigel (Imrie) – decide that they are tired of being gawked at, and make a daring escape towards the free space of the Outback.
