Mother duck takes her two baby ducklings to the river each day and warns them not to go far or the fox will eat them. One day at the river, the hungry fox sees the ducklings alone and hatches a plan to catch them when mother duck leaves. He calls to them from the shore but the babies stay in the water as instructed. Angry, the fox jumps on a floating log to reach them but the current sweeps the log away with the fox, keeping the babies safe. Mother duck returns with food and they are all happy the fox is gone.
