南極にある皇帝ペンギンの国“エンペラー帝国”。彼らにとって何より大事なことは、自分だけの“心の歌”を見つけること。ところがマンブルは筋金入りの音痴で、小学校では幼なじみのグローリアが美声を披露するのとは対照的に調子外れな音程で大非難を浴びる始末。その代わり生まれつきタップダンスが得意なマンブルは、アデリー・ペンギンの５人組“アミーゴス”に踊りを絶賛され意気投合。しかし、そのダンスが帝国に災いをもたらすと判断した長老の命令でマンブルは追放の身に。さらに、ペンギンの食糧となる魚を乱獲する人間たちを説得しに向かった彼は、挙句に捕らえられてしまう。

In New South Wales, Jared surfs with his mates and has a first girl. He hosts a beach party for his older pal, Ricko, and witnesses four of his mates gang-rape a 15 year old. He does nothing, and the next day, she's found murdered. At school, the boys and the girls react: the girls with anger at the perpetrators, the boys with jeering at the dead girl's morality. The students' parents have their own responses. Jared retreats into angry silence, disgusted that he did nothing to help the dead girl. Meanwhile, his mother wants to talk to him about her impending cancer surgery, the police want to know what he saw, and his friend Ricko wants an alibi. Jared's cracking under the pressure.
