While a farmer tends his field of wheat, six hungry crows watch and wait in a nearby tree. When the wheat ripens, the farmer builds a scarecrow to frighten them off, but these ingenious crows are not so easily scared. An owl helps the farmer and the crows reach a compromise over the rights to the wheat crop.
