Frances, a little badger, learns an important lesson about fairness and friendship. Her friend Thelma tricks her into buying a plastic tea set that Frances doesn’t really want. Feeling upset but determined, Frances comes up with a clever plan to turn the tables. In the end, Frances shows Thelma how honesty matters more than bargains, and the two patch up their friendship.
