Toad in Love is an episode of The Wind in the Willows
Toad has a new craze of filming and goes London to buy a film camera. While he is there Toad visits a music hall to see a show where he falls in love with a singer that he sees performing called Lottie D'Urbeville (whose real name is Lettuce Pommefrite and never actually appears) which puts him off filming, food and even motoring!
