Following her dream to be a "comedi-hen," Hen meets Dog, Cat, and Cow along the way. In this cornpone parody of "The Bremen Town Musicians," the quartet scares thieves away from an old farmhouse and opens a comedy club. Pun follows pun, and jokes appear within the story, in conversational balloons, and on the endpapers. Visual humor complements the verbal slapstick.
