The story concerns a repressed flock of chickens, led by plucky Ginger, who serially fail to escape from their prison camp farm. When cock-sure rooster Rocky arrives, he eggs the hens on to fly the coop, but proves to be yellow. Mrs Tweedy and her doltish husband take delivery of a humungous pie machine… chicken pie that is, and the pressure is on! (official distributor synopsis)
