Barkus and Sly are foxes who have the unfortunate habit of sneaking out at night and stealing things from around and about.

One for supper for three whole days! Yum. But the chickens have no intention of being eaten and pretty soon they're masterminding a brilliant war of resistance to the foxes rumbling tummies.
