Three gluttonous farmers are upset that the Fox is stealing their birds. They work to exterminate the fox with guns, tractors and other devices. They think they have finally trapped the fox underground and are ready to shoot him the instance he pops up. The fox's family is near starvation when he gets an idea. He tunnels and reaches under the chicken coop. He is able to sneak in and take some birds and bring them down to eat. He does similar activities to raid other farmers. Now the fox and his family and other tunnel animals can feast without risk of harm from the farmers. The farmers are still out there waiting to capture them. It is a great short work with Dahl's dark humour.
