Alice and her friend, George, have each adopted a piglet as their own. Alice’s piglet is called Wilhelmina and George’s is called Benny. When Alice’s father declares a half-day picnic, Alice and George propose a pig race between Wilhelmina and Benny, as part of the entertainment. Alice’s siblings – Maryann and Little Sam – enter a third pig in the race, a lumbering, old sow named Oink. Oink doesn’t strike Alice or George as posing much of a threat, but they each fear defeat from the other’s entry. And that’s when the skulduggery begins. There’s no end to the sneakiness Alice and George will employ against each other, in order to win first prize: a cake baked by Sarah. But, have they overlooked something?
