Mr. Toad is the kindhearted, but spoiled resident of Toad Hall. He is bored and constantly obsesses over different crazes, like houseboating and caravaning, but it is only when he encounters a motorcar that he really gets into trouble. Toad will need all the help he can get from his friends—Mole, Rat, and Mr. Badger—if he is ever going to learn how to act like the respectable toad he should be.
