Because of a bet, Billy is in the uncomfortable position of
having to eat fifteen worms in fifteen days. The worms are
supplied by his opponent, whose motto is "The bigger and
juicier, the better!" At first Billy's problem is whether or
not he can swallow the worm placed before him, even with a
choice of condiments from peanut butter to horseradish. But
later it looks as if Billy will win, and the challenge
becomes getting to the worm to eat it. Billy's family, after
checking with the doctor, takes everything in stride. They
even help Billy through his gastronomic ordeal, which twists
and turns with each new day, leaving the outcome of the bet
continually in doubt.
