Plot
A few weeks after the events of the first film, Farmer Arthur Hoggett is injured in an accident when he and Babe attempt to fix the farm's well, leaving his wife Esme to tend their farm alone. Threatened with eviction at the end of the month unless their mortgage is paid, Esme takes Babe to a sheepdog herding contest in hopes of using its prize money to do so. At an airport in the city of Metropolis, an overzealous detection beagle shows Babe what it is like to be rewarded for doing a good job by falsely signaling that he and Esme are carrying drugs, causing them to miss their connecting flight and forcing a few days wait for the next flight home.
