How aging Sir Toby, famous for ridding peaceful villages of every sort of grisly creature, makes his fortune and outwits his beastly enemies in one last ride. Sir Toby assembles a bear, a griffon, a dragon, a tiger, and an ogre for an unspecified expedition through the forest and, with pretended innocence, foils all their attempts to do him in--ending up home with five prime show-offs for his new performing zoo. Despite the tame resolution, a brisk, untaxing jaunt--with broadly cartooned balloon commentary for wayside diversion.
