Along the way he is interrogated by a policeman, pignapped by mean old Farmer Piperson, teased by hens, tormented by a cat and dog, and finally falls in love with the beautiful PigWig. The two pigs narrowly escape becoming bacon and live happily ever after when they cross the big bridge and discover that everyone is a vegetarian on the other side! Pigling and PigWig return home triumphantly with potatoes for everyone. Even Piperson has a change of heart!
