When a flooding river takes Clarissa the Catfish to the Peoria Riverfront Museum, and then recedes, Clarissa is in trouble. Ruth, the museum manager, rescues her with a bucket. Clarissa is not your everyday catfish and over time, Ruth notices Clarissa seems to enjoy the activity of the museum. 

After Clarissa is added to the museum’s large fish tank, one employee, Joseph, stops by too much, and finally decides he will have Clarissa for dinner. But when he scoops his net into the tank, all the fish come to her aid.

Find out what happens when Joseph breaks the tank (oh, no!) and all the museum’s fish are flopping on the floor!
