Synopsis

Arachnid antics abound when Itsy Bitsy and his friends encounter spider-hating Adrianne and her cat Langston. Itsy, a brave, clever and comical spider, loves to play with little Leslie and her friends. Unfortunately, most of the time, Itsy is forced to be on the lookout for the exterminator called in by Adrianne, Itsy's arch-enemy. Watch how Itsy outsmarts his foe's antics. He just snickers as they try all conceivable- and sometimes even inconceivable- ways to get him.
