When the wicked wizard Dork casts an evil spell on Mommy Snail for trespassing and eating leaves in his garden, she is devastated.
Soon she discovers when her eggs hatched that the wizard's spell had worked and that her strongest and clearest baby, Snu, was born without a shell.
The only hope for survival was for Snu to successfully win the race against Dork's monkey, Zork, and at the same time make him cry. That was the only way to break the spell.
Can Snu do all this? Will he live?
