Two squirrels leave the shelter of their woods in search of a walnut tree. Felix and Oscar who despite their ability to speak and a grasp of human behavior, really are squirrels and bound by squirrel rules and their interests are all squirrel related, nuts, trees, agility and their amazing tails. They do discover a walnut tree and find its not all its cracked up to be and are glad to get back to the beech woods.
