Kip the sheepdog lives on a farm, where he always has lots to do. He helps the farmer to bring the cow in for milking and unload the bales of hay, and rounds up the sheep. When the farmer takes the sheep to the market Kip goes too. But the naughty sheep run away and Kip must find them. So begins an adventure for the young sheepdog that leads him all around the town.
