A construction worker finds Michigan J. Frog in a box one day and sees him singing. Hoping for fame and fortune, he takes the frog to see a talent agent. However, Michigan won't sing in front of the agent. He then sees a theater for rent, takes his life savings, and has Michigan sing on stage. Michigan keeps singing until the curtain opens, to which the audience boos. Michigan continues singing when nobody except its owner is around, and eventually, he puts the frog back in the box and into an area meant to be made into a building. In 2056, the building is taken apart by another man who finds the frog, sees him singing, and then attempts to make money off the frog.
