When his parents forbid him to cross an old, broken rope bridge across a deep, dark ravine, he doesn't understand why. He can do anything! And there's a tree full of nuts just across the bridge! When Twitch decides to go get those acorns anyway, catastrophe strikes and Twitch learns the importance of respecting his parents' rules.
