After spending the day home sick, Nathan hopes he will feel well enough to return to school in the morning for a special presentation about superheroes. That night, Peanut Butter Jim takes him back to Fridge City, where baseball superstar Evan Picklesfield is being named MVP — Most Valuable Produce!
When they arrive, Fridge City is suddenly threatened by a moldy strawberry named StrawGary, who has a plan to turn off the cold throughout the entire city. Luckily, a mysterious superhero named Pickle Man arrives to save the day!
In this stories for kids podcast episode, Nathan and PB Jim join Pickle Man aboard the CucCopter as they race across Fridge City to stop StrawGary before every fruit and vegetable in town becomes moldy. But as they try to save the city, Nathan begins to discover there may be more behind StrawGary's rotten behavior than they first realized.
As Nathan, PB Jim, and Pickle Man face Fridge City's newest problem, Nathan discovers that making other people feel bad will not make you feel any better about yourself. Sometimes when you are feeling rotten, what you really need is a little help, a little rest, and a chance to feel better.
