The Chief Weasel visits Badger (with Mole) revealing he and the other weasels buy the part of the Wild Wood upon which stands the entrance to Badger's home. To the horrified shock of Mole, he orders Badger to vacate the property in three days noon, giving him the document from the court of law. When Badger takes the weasels, Rat, Mole and the youngsters to court, Mrs. Carrington-Moss decides in their favour, as the weasels' deed to the property appears to be valid. Badger, faced with eviction, prepares to leave his domicile despite the friendship he always treasured from Rat, Mole and the youngsters. However, it is Mole who saves the day when he discovers a Roman document signed by Julius Caesar; which conveys the ownership of the area that is now the Wild Wood to the badgers, and their descendants. With this document in hand, Badger and Mole are able to chase the weasels away only minutes before they take permanent possession of his burrow in a struggle against Rat and the youngsters.
