Mole mother Gertrud has a cold, so Tilda helps the mole children with a digging competition. Unfortunately, the tunnel Tilda digs leads directly to Rupert's vegetable garden! Rupert is annoyed by the molehill in the middle of his pumpkins, but in the end, the mole children have fun loosening up the soil of Rupert's garden. And Rupert himself gets to name the new digging champion!
