Notes
Peter Rabbit returns to Mr McGregor’s garden with his cousin Benjamin to get the clothes he lost there last time he was there. When Mr McGregor and his wife leave home in their gig, Benjamin Bunny and his cousin Peter Rabbit venture in. They find the blue jacket and brown shoes on a scarecrow, but Peter does not want to linger because of his previous visit. Benjamin delays their departure by gathering onions, which he wraps in Peter's handkerchief, hoping to give them to his aunt, Peter's mother. He then takes a casual stroll around the garden, followed by an increasingly nervous Peter. Rounding a corner, they see a cat and hide under a basket, but the cat then sits on top of the basket for hours, trapping the pair. Benjamin's father enters the garden looking for his son. He drives the cat from the basket and locks her in the greenhouse, then rescues Benjamin and Peter. But he also punishes them for going to Mr. McGregor's garden by whipping them with a switch he had brought. Once home, Peter gives the onions to his mother, who forgives his adventure because he has recovered his jacket and shoes. When Mr. McGregor gets home he is puzzled by the scarecrow's missing clothes and the cat locked in the greenhouse.
