Mother duck takes her two baby ducklings to the river each day and warns them not to go far from her or the hungry fox will eat them. One day at the river, the fox sees the ducklings alone and hatches a plan to catch them by jumping on a floating log. However, the fast moving currents of the river carry the log and the fox far downstream, keeping the baby ducklings safe. Mother duck returns with food and they all celebrate being free from the fox.
