Hoppi the bunny wants to win the egg-decorating contest so the Easter Bunny will choose him to help distribute Easter eggs, but instead, while everyone else is working on their decorations, he finds himself guarding an egg that has fallen from a robin's nest.

The day before Easter, when two of his friends warn him that a masked bandit is looking for him, Easter Bunny reluctantly agrees to let them hide the eggs while he hides himself, but their help only creates more work.
