A young fox cub is just emerging from the safety of the den. His father takes him and the other cubs to the railway station to meet a kind man, who feeds them. But one day a group of rowdy boys jostle the man, and he has to be taken to hospital. The cub is very wary of the boys, but he is also very hungry, so when one of the boys comes back bringing food, the cub risks eating it. It is the start of an unusual friendship!
