Au milieu des années 1950, un ouvrier de la Compagnie de Construction et de Démolition Acme Inc. employé dans la démolition d'un bâtiment trouve une boîte à l'intérieur d'une pierre angulaire. Cette boîte contient un testament daté de 1892 et une grenouille. Celle-ci se met subitement à chanter et à danser devant les yeux ébahis de l'ouvrier. L'homme essaie d'exploiter les talents de l'animal mais il échoue à convaincre un imprésario que sa grenouille chante et danse vraiment, l'animal faisant bien son show devant l'ouvrier mais redevenant inerte à chaque fois face à l’imprésario. Après avoir déboursé toutes ses économies pour produire la grenouille dans un théâtre, il se retrouve dans la misère après l'échec de la représentation, le batracien restant délibérément muet face aux spectateurs. Interné en hôpital psychiatrique pour avoir tenté de convaincre un policier que ce n'est pas lui mais sa grenouille qui chante, il finit par se débarrasser de l'animal en le mettant dans une nouvelle pierre d'un immeuble en construction. En 2056, un ouvrier découvre à nouveau la grenouille, et l'histoire se répète.
