The farmers decide to use bulldozers or machines’ diggers to dig down deeper into the ground and fade the hill into the ground, but without any benefit they get or useless step.
The three farmers, therefore, decide to camp at the hole of Mr. Fox tunnel, awaiting him to appear out to get food for his family meanwhile Mr. Fox tunnels deeper beneath of the farmers’ houses to get food to his family and other digging animals those who are starving to death.

During their digging to the farmers’ houses deep in the ground, they meet Badger and other digging animals that are starving since the farmers’ siege of the hillside. Feeling responsible for the whole affair and the siege that all digging animals are in, Mr. Fox invites the other animals to a feast made from the food he steals from the farmers’ houses and they all decide to make an underground town where they will be safe, while smugly obtaining food from the farmers’ houses.

At that time, Boggis, Bunce and Bean keep guard on the tunnel entrance in pouring rain, without have any idea that Mr. Fox and his family are robbing their food right under their noses.
