Seeking to redeem himself and save his people, Flick embarks on a journey to find "warrior bugs" to fight the grasshoppers. He arrives in the big city, mistaking a troupe of down-on-their-luck circus performers for fierce mercenaries.The circus bugs, seeking a new gig, follow Flick back to the island, unaware of the lethal danger awaiting them.
