This series created for young children was filmed in a real forest setting. The hero is a fox cub, The Little Rover, and this is the story of how he grows up. One day he finds himself alone, without his mother or siblings. Roaming around the forest all alone he meets many animals, including large eagle owls and a herd of wild boar. He witnesses the hatching of young pheasants, a grouse fight and hears the sad song of a large deaf grouse. Nearly a grown fox by now, The Little Rover is lucky to escape his greatest enemy, the lynx. He also pays a visit to a forester's back yard, but finally, as a young adult fox, returns to where he was born that spring.
