The gang of animals including Stella the Skunk, Ozzy the Opossum and his daughter Heather, Hammy the Squirrel, and Lou and Penny and their three children. They are led by Verne the Turtle and find a giant hedge blocking them from their scouring grounds. Verne ventures across to find that their land has broken ground for new housing developments. He returns and allows no one else to ever cross the hedge again.
RJ, watching the entire event, tries to get the group to steal food from the humans, citing their food is better than anything else. He passes this off as helping them, but he really is planning to steal all of their gatherings to repay Vincent.
Gladys Sharpe, an important resident in the area, rigs her yards with every trap in the making, even the illegal De-Pelter Turbo after the first attempted food raid.

They get away with a wagon full of food, to which RJ makes away with, leaving the others captured by Dwayne, the animal control man.
RJ’s guilt begins to set in as he uses the wagon to wreck Dwayne’s truck, freeing the family. Things go south for RJ when Vincent turns up to claim his restitution. RJ begs the animals for help to their dismay but are convinced to do so by Verne. They make their great escape which includes RJ’s giving Hammy an energy drink to move with super-speed
