In "Uncle Wiggily's Flying Shoes," the gentle rabbit hero discovers he can leap high and glide with the help of air-filled rubber pillows on his feet and his trusty umbrella. When he thwarts Skeezicks’ scheme to steal a bird’s nest, the mischievous fox and his friend Pip vow to get even.

In "Homemade Skeeter Dope," Uncle Wiggily tries his hand at crafting a mosquito repellent, only to find his invention has the opposite effect—drawing in more mosquitoes than it keeps away. Undeterred, he improvises with a suit made entirely of mosquito netting, turning the tables in his battle against the buzzing pests.

In "Uncle Wiggily Buries His Fortune," the clever rabbit plans to hide his savings under a tree—only to find his quiet moment interrupted when a fox chases Kitty Puss into the very hole he’s digging. With quick thinking and a shared scramble, Uncle Wiggily and the feline friend burrow their way through the earth to safety, emerging at the Bushytails’ hollow tree home.

In "The Flying Folding Bed," Uncle Wiggily puts his latest invention to the test—a portable bed with folding sides—only to find himself captured by the Ragged Old Bob Cat and the Bushy Bear during a night outdoors. Escaping by sliding the bed down a mountainside, he’s stunned when its flat surface sends it soaring into the sky.
