Synopsis by Scott St. Clair

Eight-year-old Justin Morton (Spencer Breslin) gets a birthday present he never expected while visiting Australia with his mother (Rachel Hunter). Thanks to the work of two dimwitted thugs, Tank Emerson (Ralf Moeller) and Buzz Maroni (Peter Rowley), a walking, talking, sunglasses-clad koala named Ozzie ends up in Spencer's backpack instead of the highly realistic stuffed koala he was expecting. It seems that the devious Maxine Happy (Joan Collins) has learned of this magical animal's existence among a peaceful tribe of aborigines and wants to clone the koala to make a fortune for her company "Happy Toys." Furious over Ozzie's escape, Happy sends her two bumbling henchman to recover her prize. This leaves Spencer no choice but to try and get Ozzie back "down under" using every trick and gadget he can muster.
