The film was also released direct-to-video by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on June 16, 1998 in the United States and on August 6, 1999 in Japan.

Billy is a boy who is trying to save a baby kangaroo called Joey after its family is captured and taken to Sydney.

Using the scopes on their guns, they search the area and spot Billy running to get his remote control car to bring it home.

He drives home just when his morning alarm goes off, which also feeds his fish through a contraption he made, and successfully sneaks into his room through the window.

He meets his mother, Penny, out front of the house who is holding his bag, and she tells him that she'll be very angry is she finds out that he was on the Dixon's land again, not knowing he was just there.

This leads to the teacher spotting Billy's late arrival and tells him to stay after school.

During recess Dixon and another boy start a fight by using ants, surrounded by classmates cheering them on.

Dixon tells the officer about Billy being on their property again this morning, and this time, they want to press charges.

Joey is discreetly stuffed into Billy's jacket because of a rule preventing the export of kangaroos on a train.

Meanwhile, two reporters, John O'Bannon (John-o) and Davo, lament and argue about not being able to capture Ted Ross’ limousine driving.

At Harrisville, Penny reports Billy missing at the police station and, with Mick, takes a train to Sydney.

Suddenly, they realize they can’t stop the event, so the kids come down and use a microphone to tell a story from the perspective of the caged kangaroos, then the police arrest them.
