# Mercury of the Motorbicycle - Toad's beloved Rolls Royce is off the road again after yet another accident. He decides to invest in a motorbicycle, much to the amazement of his friends, Badger, Rat and Mole.
# Champion of the Green Baize - Playing cards is not of Toad's strong points and he sulks while Rat, Mole and Badger play without him. After seeing an advertisement in a newspaper, Toad decides to have a billiard table installed at Toad Hall.
# The Tournament - Toad challenges the weasels to a medieval jousting tournament - them on their hand cart, him on his motorbike!
# Hot Air - Toad is extremely excited and happy at the arrival of his latest toy, a hot air balloon. The henchman weasel finds himself on an unexpected voyage, when he climbs into the basket for 40 winks.
# Fighting Fit - Nagged by his friends about his physical condition, Toad invests in some keep-fit apparatus and turns Toad Hall into a gymnasium, with disastrous consequences.
