Crocodile Pete is a big tough Australian predator with a soft spot for kids who are bullied. He comes from the imagination of young Steve who is being beaten up regularly by some kids at school. With Croc Pete's rough wisdom, he explains to Steve what predators look for when they go after potential victims. After he teaches Steve how to act, he then teaches him how to stand up for himself when nobody else is around to help him.

Croc Pete is a killer, but he also has a way to help Steve defeat the bullies, regain some self-confidence and even make a few new friends.
