Having been told about Mr. Badger by his friend Rat, Mole sets out into The Wild Wood alone one winter's day. However after getting startled by the noises of the woods' residents, Mole hides among the sheltering roots of a tree. Eventually, Rat finds him as snow begins to fall in earnest. Whilst attempting to find their way out of the woods, Mole barks his shin on a boot scraper, causing Rat to realise that they are outside Badger's home. Badger welcomes Mole and Rat into his home where they tell him about their friend Mr. Toad's new obsession of cars, which has resulted in him crashing seven cars, being in hospital three times, and has spent a fortune on fines. Badger, who was good friends with Toad's late father, tells Mole and Rat that they will have to wait until the time is right and they will make a plan to save Toad from himself.
When spring arrives, Badger, Mole and Rat go to Toad Hall to in order to get Toad over his car obsession. When Toad refuses to give up, Badger puts him under house arrest. However, Toad later escapes and steals a car, which results in him being sent to prison for 20 years. Unaware of what has happened to Toad, Badger and Mole stay at Toad Hall with hope that Toad will return. However, the pair are later thrown out by the weasels and stoats of The Wild Wood, who take over Toad Hall.
Toad later flees prison and meets with Badger, Mole and Rat and learns of what has happened to Toad Hall. The group use secret underground tunnels underneath Toad Hall and launch a surprise attack on the weasels and stoats and drive them out.
