Danny, the Champion of the World After having hunted 120 pheasants from Hazell's Wood, William and Danny hide them in the house of the local vicar, while they take a taxi home. The next day, Mrs. Grace Clipstone, the vicar's wife, delivers the sleeping pheasants in a specially built large baby carriage, but the narcotic wears off and many of them try to escape. Still drugged, every one alights around the service station, just when Mr. Hazell arrives. With the help of Sergeant Enoch Samways, the village policeman, William and Danny gather the stunned pheasants in the Rolls Royce of Mr. Hazell; but when they wake up completely, they escape. Mr. Hazell leaves disgraced and ruins his shooting party. The book ends when Danny is hailed as "the champion of the world" by William, Doc Spencer and Sgt. Samways, of which the majority acquires two pheasants, each of which has died of a drug overdose. William and Danny then walk into town, intending to buy a new oven to cook their pheasants.
