Who wants to silence Maurice? What secret hides the trial of the superstar rooster of Sheep Island, a wonderful Breton island where roosters sing rock, where cats talk to children and where all chickens are called Mathilde?

Jeanne, an apprentice journalist tall as three eggs, will conduct the investigation and take all the risks to expose the truth.

After The incredible story of the sheep that saved a school and The incredible story of the lobster that saved its shell, this new episode revisits the true story of Maurice the rooster, whose trial had made a lot of noise, in France and beyond.
