The Story

It seems Larry the Cucumber may be following the wrong advice. When Bob comes across Larry bumbling around on the kitchen counter with an oven mitt on his head, Bob is naturally confused. Larry explains that oven mitts are the new fashion... he saw them on the cover of "Veggie Beat" magazine. But the oven mitt fad soon gets Larry in trouble, when he blindly falls into the sink. This reminds Bob of a Biblical story of three young men who stood up for what was right when everyone else was doing the wrong thing.

George, the loveable old green onion, narrates the story. You see, he works at the Nezzer Chocolate Factory as the gate security guard. It seems the Nezzer Chocolate Factory hires lots of young vegetables, including our three heroes Rack (Bob the Tomato), Shack (Junior Asparagus), and Benny (Larry the Cucumber). It is a hard job. Hours are long and lunch does not even come until three o'clock! But if the employees stop for one teeny weeny second Mr. Lunt (Mr. Nezzer's right hand man) will make sure they get fired, or demoted, or something. Things seem to be looking up for the employees in the movie Veggie Tales: Rack, Shack, and Benny, however, when in celebration of the factory's two millionth chocolate bunny, Mr. Nezzer announces that the employees may eat all the bunnies they want for half an hour! The employees in the factory break into a chocolate eating frenzy ...all that is except Rack, Shack, and Benny. They remember the good advice of their parents and make sure to limit their chocolate feast.

When Mr. Nezzer comes onto the factory floor awhile later all his employees are rolling around on the ground ill. . . all that is except for the trio Rack, Shack and Benny. Impressed, Mr. Nezzer promotes them to Junior Executives. The next day when the trio arrive at Mr. Nezzer's office, they discover their new position might not be as wonderful as they first expected. It seems, in the Veggie Tales: Rack, Shack, and Benny that Mr. Nezzer has built a 90 foot tall bunny and he is planning on having all his workers bow down to the bunny and sing "the Bunny Song." When the trio discover the song implies nothing is more important than the bunny, even God or their families, and that anyone who doesn't sing will be thrown into the furnace like the bad chocolate bunnies they get a little anxious.

The big day arrives, and when the time comes all the factory employees bow down and sing the bunny song, except three. You guessed it, Rack, Shack, and Benny. Mr. Nezzer is none too happy and leads them off to the furnace. What will happen to Rack, Shack, and Benny? Will they fall into the furnace like the bad bunnies? Will their courage and honor for God go unnoticed? And what will become of the evil Mr. Nezzer? And will Larry ever get out of that sink?!̴Ì_
