Yoram Gross's original story (based on the characters from Edith Pedley's classic Australian children's story and adapted for the screen by John Palmer) continues the adventures of Dot and her native animal friends.

When Dot ventures out into the bush determined to finally locate the little lost joey and reunite him with his mother, she meets a silly rabbit who tries to convince her that he is the joey she is looking for. Dot is delighted by his antics and names her new companion Funny Bunny. Together, they continue the search for the joey. On the way, Dot learns that Funny Bunny is really a very lonely rabbit. His family were killed by hunters, and he has been on his own ever since. They find the mother kangaroo, and though she has not yet found her joey, when she sees the lonely bunny, she realises she has found someone else to look after.
