Cheeky little Raven accidentally destroys the stocks the animals need to survive the coming winter. To refill the storage, he sets out to win a cart race and earn the prize money. But the tumultuous race through the forest is full of twists and surprises, and in the end, Raven has gained something money can’t buy: He understands the value of teamwork and responsibility and helps his opponent realize the importance of following one’s true passions in life.
