Synopsis

Jemima Puddle-Duck, a naïve and determined duck, longs to hatch her own eggs away from the farm. She ventures into the woods and meets a charming gentleman fox who offers her a secluded spot to nest. Unbeknownst to Jemima, the fox has sinister intentions. Fortunately, the farm's wise collie, Kep, uncovers the fox's plan and, with the help of two playful foxhound puppies, rescues Jemima just in time. Back at the farm, Jemima safely hatches four ducklings, learning the importance of caution and trust.
