Mr Toad recounts his adventures and escape from prison to his friends at Toad Hall. Badger, Ratty and Mole's recollections seem to differ from their host's.
Mr Toad in invited to be guest speaker by the weasels who kidnap him and issue a ransom for his release, the weasels soon discover they have taken on more than the bargained for.
The Weasels buy the wild wood and go to court to get Badger evicted. Mole goes searching in the tunnels at Badger's home and finds a curious old chest.
The residents of the riverbank and wild wood prepare their entries to the Grand Annual Show, but will the Weasel's pumpkin or Mr Toad's wine win the grand prize?
The riverbank folk are preparing for winter, but Ratty wants to enjoy the Autumn. A seafaring rat from Constantinople pays Ratty a visit who is enchanted by the thought of the sea and the lands beyond.
There is a festive gathering at Toad Hall but Toad's performance of Gilbert and Sullivan songs is in doubt when he loses his voice. Can Mole bring a bit of style to proceedings?
