A boy named Lucas is bullied by another boy named Steve who gives him a wedgie so often that he’s now running out of underwear. Lucas makes himself feel better about this by drowning ants so the ants shrink him down to the size of an ant. Lucas finds out that an Exterminator he hired is coming to kill the ants, so Lucas helps save them by beating the exterminator. The Ants then turn Lucas back to normal so he stands up to Steve and stops getting bullied.
