A rooster, dog, cat and donkey all get the heave-ho from their farmer owner. Actually, the old man isn't all that mean; the animals sleep on the job and deserved to get booted. They all cry the blues when the farm owner boots them in the butt but then things perk up when they notice a choir nearby singing. People throw coins from above and the singers go away happy.
The animals figure, hey, let's try that gig, too. The trouble is, they're brutal at that, too. Instead of coins, people throw pots, pans and the kitchen sink at them.
However, they may have little talent and aren't good workers, but they prove to be loyal to the farmer as we see in the dramatic final third of the story, which helps elevate this old cartoon from poor to fair.
