The Wind in the Willows

Mole's underground home is crushed when the meadow above is flattened by a steam shovel driven by Weasels. The collapse forces Mole to surface, leaving him homeless. The Water Rat helps Mole begin the search for friends and shelter.

The Water Rat brings Mole to Mr. Toad, who greets them with his brash enthusiasm. Toad invites Mole and Rat to join his new horse-drawn caravan and begins to rally them to his plans.

Toad's fascination with cars blooms after a Wild Wood encounter with Weasels. He funds his growing fleet with loans from the Weasels, and the Chief weasel blackmails him to sell Toad Hall.

Toad, Rat, and Mole end up at Badger's underground home, where Badger tries to quell Toad's car obsession. Toad refuses to listen, and his obsession continues to grow.

Toad's reckless behavior leads to him stealing and crashing a motor-car outside a pub, and he is arrested as a result. Badger and the others watch as his trouble worsens.

During the trial, the Chief Weasel disguises himself as a rabbit to sway the jury, securing a guilty verdict for Toad. The Judge sentences him to a 100-year term in a castle dungeon.

Back at Toad Hall, Rat and Mole are evicted by the Weasels who have taken over the hall. The once-proud residence becomes a base for the gang's plans.

Rat and Mole tunnel under the castle to reach Toad and, with help from the jailer's daughter and her sardonic aunt, plan a rescue from captivity.

Toad, Rat, and Mole climb aboard Engine No. 592. The engine driver agrees to help them elude the pursuing police by riding on the footplate, but the chase escalates and danger mounts.

The train chase leads to a derailment; although they battled through, Toad is ultimately abducted by the Weasels, succumbing to his captors again.

The Weasels reveal a plan to build a dog-food factory over Mole's home and blow up Toad Hall to install a slaughterhouse. They have damaged Badger's land and incite Badger to seek revenge.

Badger and Rat attempt to infiltrate Toad Hall disguised as Weasels, but are discovered and forced toward the factory's mincing machine with Toad. Mole breaks in and disables the dangerous machine, allowing their escape.

A Weasel power struggle culminates in a failed coup and a misguided plan. Rat and Mole reveal the explosive mislabeling, and the Chief unknowingly detonates the factory, blowing it up and sparing Toad Hall.

Toad makes a public pledge to reform, promising to be more mature and less selfish. Mole's home is repaired, but Toad is seen secretly meeting with an airplane salesman, hinting at a new craze.

Toad flies over the crowd in a new plane, triggering mass hysteria and disappointment from Badger. The end credits show Toad continuing his airborne adventures across the country and sea.
