Is the story of a little girl who can't stop fidgeting in class and is told by her Great Aunt that she has "ants in her pants". One night, The Anthill Mob - a gang of giant ants - emerge from her pants drawer, kidnap her, and take her away to an anthill deep in the forest, where she works as a slave for the enormously fat Queen Ant, who happens to bear an uncanny resemblance to her Great Aunt. Befriended by two smaller-than-average ants (Ant and Dick) a hilarious and darling rescue ensues to get Bridget back home.
