- Always searching for a new money-making scheme, Felix , with the help of Izzy , wants to start his own fox farm. Learning that he needs an adult co-signer for his bank loan, Felix enlists Nat Lester as his new business partner.
- Felix is taking a leave of absence from his work at the White Sands to take charge of the farm work while Alec and Janet are away. But after Digger chases after a couple of foxes in the woods and after Aunt Eliza reads about the high price of fox stoles, Felix has the idea to raise foxes as a business putting the farm work aside, which is much to Felicity and Aunt Eliza's chagrin both for Felix abdicating his responsibilities and endangering the lives of the other farm livestock. He plans to start with those two foxes and breed them. After Felix tells her his plans, Izzy wants in as a partner. Due to logistics and Felicity's criticisms, Felix and Izzy have to find a place to build the fox pen where it is both out of the way and unnoticed by their critics. When Felix feels he needs an influx of cash to make the business a success, he enlists the help of Nat Lester - who Felicity does not trust due to their relationship as co-workers at the general store - who is old enough to co-sign a loan. This transaction forces an unwilling Izzy out of the business. But Nat and Felix's unfamiliarity with the underlying meaning of the loan and the term "collateral" combined with Nat's view of what it means to be a businessman may spell trouble for the pair. But Felix may have more regrets about how he treated Izzy in the venture. Through it all, Enoch Cain, the bank manager, may have a slightly different view of what Felix and Nat are doing compared to their naysayers, and which he demonstrates with his own "business" transaction with Nat's adolescent sister Becky.—Huggo
- Felix and Izzy want to start a fox breeding business, but they don't qualify for a bank loan to expand it unless someone over the age of 21 co-signs it. Felix asks Nat Lester, the self-centered soda jerk at the general store, to co-sign the loan, but Nat's refusal to split the business three ways leaves Izzy out of the deal.—Attmay
