Foxy, a sly trickster, travels with a mysterious sack containing a single bee. He swaps it for a rooster, then a pig, and even a boy. But his clever schemes unravel when he encounters a woman as cunning as he is. She frees the boy and replaces him with a fierce dog, sending Foxy fleeing. Will Foxy learn his lesson, or is this the end of his mischievous adventures?
Foxy has a very large sack with just one bee in it. But on his travels he meets a woman with a nice fat rooster. . . “Whatever you do, don’t look in the sack!” says Foxy. But the woman does, of course, and when the bee escapes Foxy takes the rooster in exchange! He repeats the trick to acquire a lovely fat pig, and finally. . . a little boy! But the last woman Foxy meets is as clever as he is. She sets the little boy free and substitutes a large fierce dog in the sack - who chases bad Foxy away, never to be seen again.
