Pettersson and Findus, the quirky protagonists of the famous Swedish children's book series, are inseparable and lead a peaceful life on their farm. That is, until Caruso, the vain rooster from the neighboring farm, disturbs their blissful solitude while fleeing the soup pot. Caruso crows incessantly, playing tunes and shamelessly turning the heads of the farm's hens. Everyone loves Caruso. Everyone except Findus. The tame cat's spirit is shaken. Findus fears for his position as Pettersson's favorite, and when he's had enough, he hatches a cunning plan.
