One day, while Flopsy is away, the mischievous and greedy Mr. McGregor spots the six baby bunnies, called the Flopsy Bunnies, sleeping in their cozy nest. He captures them in a sack, planning to sell them to Mrs. McGregor, who wants to make them into a pie.
However, the Flopsy Bunnies' older siblings, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter Rabbit, come to the rescue. They sneak into Mr. McGregor's garden, create a diversion, and rescue their younger siblings from the sack. They replace the captured bunnies with rotten vegetables, tricking Mr. McGregor.
