The irrepressible, friendly Gaston the green-nosed alligator helps some new friends lay a pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico. Stirred by curiosity, Gaston follows a huge barge carrying pipes, which leads away from the lazy cool of his bayou home. Outfitted in a hardhat and steel-toed boots, he soon joins a crew and finds that the life of an offshore oilman is not easy.
