What is Fox at Work about?

Fox wants to impress the girls, but his showing-off ends in a spectacular bike crash. With his bike ruined, Fox asks his mum for money to buy a new one. Instead, she tells him he must earn it himself. Fox tries several jobs, but each one brings a fresh problem and plenty of laughs. Can this fussy, boastful fox find work that suits him, save enough money, and get back on two wheels?
