Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.” (Philippians 2:3) “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” (Romans 12:19) Years ago, a rich couple, in danger of an ally-turned-enemy eliminating them, give their only son to their dear friend Alfred to protect him. They never came back. When the young cucumber has grown, he has become a rich and popular figure among the people of the crime-infested Bumblyburg. Seeing its crime rate, Larry, the rich cucumber, takes it upon himself to single-handedly fight back against Bumblyburg’s vile crooks as its plunger-eared savior: Larry-Boy! But he only does it for the excitement and thrills of fighting crime. That will change when his father’s old enemy, the vengeful Silas Drake, or Mr. Drake, has taken over his company and used its technologies to harm the people of Bumblyburg! The young hero feels the need for revenge for what Drake has done to his parents. Can his faithful butler, and father-figure Alfred set him on the right path? The path to BE! THAT!! HERO!!!
