His old-fashioned vanilla cones can't compete with newer, trendy trucks that hawk organic, "flash frozen," and dots ice cream in dozens of flavors. Scoop finds a quiet space where he can hang out with a new, dodgeball-playing friend, Spunky, a little girl. But soon the other trucks invade their corner of the city. Scoop gets decked out in an effort to compete, but lacks the horsepower. Finally he realizes he can reinvent himself while getting the peace and quiet he dreams of, complete with Spunky.
