Synopsis

Blue rabbit is off adventuring on his bicycle but with his head in the air instead of his eyes on the road he crashes into a hole and the front wheel comes off his bike. After he has rubbed the bump on his head, Blue Rabbit sets off in search of the runaway wheel - and finds it has caused destruction and distress. Running over a pile of sticks belonging to Squirrel who is building a new home, the wheel has reduced them to firewood; bumping into Badger it has made him take an unwanted bath in a pool of mud; knocking into Tortoise it has turned him completely over onto his back and rendered him helpless. Nobody but rabbit is aware of what this wizzing thing was - and rabbit keeps quiet until by a bit of detective work on the part of the three distressed animals, he is revealed as the culprit who has caused the mayhem. But there is not subduing blue rabbit and he rides off looking for more adventures. . . . .
