The fox cubs Pablo, Poppy and Pumpkin are hungry and can't wait for Red Fox and Rose to come back with supper. They sneak out of the den, watched by Gil Gull, and try fishing in the canal, but they end up soaked, so they head for the market instead. There they see more food than they've ever seen before, but also some nasty dogs, and just when Pablo thinks he has supper and a hiding-place, he finds that he is soaring up into the night, while Poppy and Pumpkin look on helplessly...But thanks to Gil Gull, the cubs are all safely back in the den when Red Fox and Rose return - and there's a tasty supper for all three cubs!
