Wilbur is hyperactive and always exploring new things. He lives with Fern for a few weeks and then is sold to her uncle, Homer Zuckerman. Although Fern visits him at the Zuckermans' farm as often as she can, Wilbur gets lonelier day after day. Eventually, a warm and soothing voice tells him that she is going to be his friend. The next day, he wakes up and meets his new friend: Charlotte, the gray spider. Wilbur soon becomes a member of the community of animals who live in the cellar of Zuckerman's barn.

When the old sheep in the barn cellar tells Wilbur that he is going to be killed and eaten at Christmas, he turns to Charlotte for help.

劇情

故事始於約翰·阿爾伯的母豬共生了十一隻小豬，但是只有十個乳頭，其中最矮小的小豬可能會沒辦法養活，阿爾伯就決定把他殺了。她的女兒芬求父親把小豬留下。阿爾伯同意把小豬給芬作寵物，她給他起名叫韋伯。

韋伯是只生活態度特別積極的小豬，總是可以感染周圍的人和動物。幾周以後，韋伯被賣給芬的叔叔霍莫·Zuckermarn了。雖然芬盡量常常去Zuckermarn農場，但是小豬韋伯還是感到的越來越寂寞。

後來，一個很溫柔的聲音說願意和他做朋友，第二天韋伯起床時見到他的新朋友——灰蜘蛛夏洛特。剛開始農場里的動物對夏洛特很反感，覺得夏洛特惡心。可是韋伯並不認同，反而覺得她很漂亮。在長時間的相處之下，兩人成了非常要好的朋友。

有天當農場里的老綿羊告訴韋伯聖誕節的時候他會被人殺掉吃了的時候，韋伯很害怕，他向夏洛特求助。夏洛特對韋伯承諾他會讓他活下來，想到的辦法就是在她的網上寫字來贊揚韋伯的出色，比如說SOME PIG。因為如果她能讓韋伯出名，韋伯就不會被殺了。多虧了夏洛特的幫忙，韋伯在鄉村大會上得了獎。

最後，夏洛特在大會上死了，並在死前她用盡她最後的力氣產卵並包覆起來。為了報答她，韋伯把夏洛特死之前生的卵帶回了家，並在Zuckermarn農場中對卵進行孵育，雖然多數孵出的蜘蛛都到外頭去開創自己的新生，但Joy、Aranea和Nellie這三隻依舊留在農場里，並和韋伯成為好朋友。
