These farmers do not like Mr. Fox because he keeps stealing their chickens, ducks, and apples.

Mr. Fox devises a plan to outsmart the farmers. He goes on exciting adventures every night, sneaking into the farms and bringing food back to his family underground. His wife, Mrs. Fox, and their little foxes are very proud of him, but the farmers get angrier and angrier!
