Farmer Hoggett thinks the piglet he wins at the fair is just one to be fattened up for the freezer until his old sheepdog, Fly, takes Babe under her wing and starts to train him to be a sheepdog too. Babes methods are unconventional but successful and he wins the Grand Challenge Trials by being polite to his flock of sheep.
