- Synopsis
- Mole is startled as machinery starts tearing up the field where his burrow is. He and his friend Rat go to see Toad, the lord of the manor, only to find that Toad has sold the field to the rascally weasels that live in the Wild Woods. They are nearly run down by a motorcar and afterwards Toad becomes completely obsessed with motorcars. Mole and Rat then find that Toad has put Toad Hallup as collateral to the weasels to buy six new motorcars. They send the cars back and restrain Toad, but Toad escapes, where he steals a motorcar and crashes it. He is arrested and sentenced to a hundred years in jail. Mole, Rat and the jailer’s daughter come up with a scheme to help Toad escape so that he can return and stop the weasels who have foreclosed on Toad Hall and are about to execute their long held plan to blow it up and build a dog food factory... A adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's classic novel The Wind in the Willows (which shows the ever changing world of the British countryside through the eyes of animals), although it differs substantially from the novel.
