It first begins with Kermit happily playing the banjo in a swampy river and singing "The Rainbow Connection". Just minding his own business, along comes a Hollywood agent Bernie that believes Kermit has what it takes to make it big musically, and there are also auditions held for singing frogs. So he offers a card to the frog if he wishes to accept his offer. Kermit realizes that this might be his first big break for stardom so he heads off to Sunny California to pursue his singing career. Along the way he is meets with Frozzy Bear a struggling comedian at a cafe where he was doing an act, also The Electric Mayhem band. Gonzo and Camilla, Missy Piggy (pagent queen) and Rowlf the piano-playing dog; all these new friends of Kermit goes along on his trip to Hollywood.
