That night, using a secret passage, the four friends infiltrate Toad Hall while the weasels and Winky are in a drunken sleep. With amends made between Toad and his friends, they concoct a plan to sneak into Toad Hall and retrieve the deed to Toad Hall from Winky. The visitor is actually MacBadger, who reveals that the weasels have overtaken Toad Hall with Winky is their ringleader. However, feeling that Toad still owes a debt to society, Rat orders a reluctant Mole to open the door. At first, Toad scoffs at the idea that he would be afraid of the police, but when someone forcefully knocks at the door, Toad's confidence evaporates and he pleads for Rat and Mole to hide him.

In court, acting as his own defense, Toad calls Cyril to tesitfy about the events of that day. However, Toad sneaks out that night and is arrested for presumably stealing a motorcar. Seeing what Toad's newest craze may lead to, Rat and Mole lock him in his bedroom and guard him. Suddenly, his attention is stolen away by (to him) a vision of beauty: a motorcar.
