The winter has been long. Badger and Crab haven't seen each other for months. It's now early spring and they meet at night on the beach and rekindle their friendship.
Yet again disaster looms. Badger and Crab have to forget their own problems and work together to resume another animal in distress. Helped by Tawny Owl and Fox and battling a gale and a rough sea, they attempt to defeat a ferocious army of spider crabs intent on a murderous spree.
The action takes place at night on the beach in a big gale and with a rapidly incoming tide, as well as in the wood where Badger meets a hostile neighbour as he attempts to enlist the help of all his friends.
All four animals are severely tested. Teamwork, ingenuity and tenacity are needed. Can land animals adapt to the seaside environment and conquer the enemy? Can they all remain friends? Who was the true villain anyway? Was it actually the humans who caused the problem in the first place?
