In this animated adventure, rain and flood waters threaten the farm, so young farm boy Edmond (voice of Toby Scott Ganger)–who by now has been turned into a cat–gathers together a mouse Snipes (voice of Eddie Deezen), a magpie Peepers (voice of Sandy Duncan), and a dog Patou (voice of Phil Harris) for a trip to the city to bring back their rooster, Chanticleer (voice of Glen Campbell). They believe that Chanticleer's crowing will chase away the clouds and bring back the sun. When they do arrive in the city, the group discovers that because Chanticleer has become a rock star, it is almost impossible to get near him. Never fear, by story's end, Chanticleer is back on the farm, and happiness reigns.
