Mr. Fox lives with his wife and children in a cozy burrow under a tree. Every night, he sneaks into the farms of three nasty, greedy farmers—Boggis, Bunce, and Bean—to steal food for his family. Furious, the farmers devise a plan to catch him by digging him out or starving him underground.
 
Mr. Fox, clever and resourceful, refuses to give up. With the help of other animals like Badger, Mole, and Rabbit, he hatches a daring underground heist plan. Together, they tunnel into the farmers’ storehouses and throw a grand underground feast, all while the clueless farmers wait above ground.
 
In the end, Mr. Fox triumphs through intelligence and teamwork, teaching a humorous lesson about wit and resilience.
