Rat and Mrs Otter warn Mole about the inhabitants of the Wild Wood and tell him of wise but solitary Badger who lives there.
Mr. Toad is rich, jovial, friendly and kind-hearted, but aimless and conceited; he regularly becomes obsessed with current fads, only to abandon them abruptly.
Having recently given up boating, Mr. Toad's current craze is his horse-drawn caravan, which he invites the reluctant Rat and willing Mole to join him on ("The Open Road").
Parked at the roadside for an overnight stop, a passing motor car scares the horse, flipping over the caravan.
Determined to save Mr Toad from himself, Mole insists Rat and he venture into the Wild Wood to call on the support of Badger.
As Badger invites them in, Chief Weasel tells his gang of Wild Wooders of his plot to steal Toad Hall so they can live the good-life.
In prison, Mr Toad gains the sympathy of the Gaoler's Daughter, who helps him to escape disguised as a washerwoman ("To Be a Woman").
As the song ends, Badger bursts in to inform Rat and Mole that Mr Toad has escaped prison.
Badger, Mrs Otter, Rat, Mole and Mr Toad enter via the tunnel and pounce upon the unsuspecting Wild Wooders who are holding a celebratory party and about to cook Portia ("The Fight").
It's spring once again, and the animals are working hard, while Rat and Mole quite happily row on the river together - they are both content in having one another's company over the adventures Toad has.
Mr Toad holds a party to mark his return, but his big entrance on an airplane (or, in some productions, on a jet pack) indicates that he hasn't changed his ways at all ("Finale").
