Ralph decided to run away. Nobody understood his pride in his shiny, red, mouse-sized motorcycle, and how he needed freedom to ride it. Ralph's mother felt it was too dangerous, and his younger brothers and sisters pestered him to wheel them about on it.
Ralph wanted to get away from them all and have an adventure! His destination was a summer camp nearby where he hoped that he could find delicious crumbs from peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwiches.
But Ralph was flung into all kinds of peril. Danger stalked him in the sinister shape of Catso, the camp cat. The Ralph was kidnapped by campers and stuck in a cage! Could Ralph escape?
