Rather than return it, the Cornwallians decide to keep the string for themselves. They start to make plans to dedicate the string in its new gazebo, but their celebrations could be short-lived, because, having discovered the deceit, those resourceful piglets from Rumpus Ridge have begun to make some plans of their own . . ., When a rival town steals their prized ball of string, the ingenious pigs of Rumpus Ridge don't get mad, they get even!, Beyond the resourcefulness of its porcine citizens, there wasn't much to recommend the small mining town of Rumpus Ridge.
