Find out if Ted Wood, the evil logger, and his bunch will succeed in cutting the fantasy trees down and whether or not little Bridget will be able to conquer her fears, cure her hiccup and save Mother Nature from its imminent demise−and some scary "tree men" that seem to follow her wherever she goes . . .!
