Adapted from Ethel Pedly's Dot and the Kangaroo, the story concerns Dot, the young child of an outback settler who becomes lost in the bush and is subsequently befriended by a huge female red kangaroo. This leads to her travelling about the countryside in the kangaroo's pouch. The two meet a number of characters on their travels, including a platypus, a koala and a kookaburra, and have several exciting adventures before the kangaroo eventually helps Dot find her way home.
