"Ho! ho! I am the Toad, the motor-car snatcher, the prison-breaker, the
Toad who always escapes!"
Tired of spring cleaning, Mole ventures above ground into the warm
sunshine, and happens upon his friend Ratty. Together they picnic on the
sparkling, burbling river, brave the sinister Wild Wood in wintertime to
visit the bad-tempered Badger, and take to the open road in a caravan
with dear, silly old Toad. But when Toad's attention turns to motor
cars, his reckless behavior goes from bad to worse. Badger, Rat, and
Mole must save their friend from ruin, and Toad Hall from the clutches
of the rascally Stoats and Weasels.
