This is the story of two rival communities living in valleys separated by a ridge. The Have-Alls live in a fertile, beautiful valley with their leader, Chief Somebody, and their prized pets, the Squatz. In the other valley, one more desolate and barren, live the No-Haves and their leader, Chief Nobody.

The No-Haves, always jealous of the Have-Alls' pets, decide to gather the Squatz for themselves. What results is a fierce tug-of-war that changes the two communities--and the Squatz--forever!
