Rocko's Modern Life is a cartoon series that follows the adventures of a wallaby named Rocko and his friends. In season 1 episode 2, titled "Leap Frogs/Bedfellows," Rocko and his best friend, Heffer the steer, are on a day out at the park when they come across a group of frogs practicing their jumping skills. Heffer, who is a bit of a daring daredevil, decides to join them and after a few failed attempts, manages to impress the frogs with his jumping skills.
However, Heffer's success with the frogs soon takes a turn for the worse when he starts to neglect his friendship with Rocko. He spends all his time practicing and jumping with the frogs, leaving Rocko feeling hurt and left out. When Heffer is invited to join the frogs on their big jump, he realizes how much he misses his best friend and decides to skip the jump and spend the day with Rocko instead.
Meanwhile, in the second part of the episode, titled "Bedfellows," Rocko is having trouble sleeping due to his noisy neighbors, the Bigheads. The Bigheads are a moose and a turtle couple who love nothing more than to play loud music and throw wild parties late into the night.
After several sleepless nights, Rocko decides to confront them and ask them to keep the noise down. The Bigheads initially refuse, but after a hilarious series of events that involve Rocko and his equally sleepless neighbor, Mr. Hutchison, pretending to be a monster and scaring them, the Bigheads agree to keep the noise down and Rocko is finally able to get a good night's sleep.
