This animated short film is a puppet show adapted from the novel of the same name by Gao Yubao. In the "old society," the landlord class employed various cunning methods to exploit farmers, and one such method was crowing like a rooster at midnight. As the new year approached, the landlord Zhou Bapi thought of a devious trick to dismiss the long-term workers who had labored for a year without letting them receive their due wages. After a long day of work, just when the workers were about to lie down, he stealthily crept into the chicken coop, mimicking a rooster's crow to provoke the real rooster into crowing. Then, under his urging, the workers had no choice but to struggle to get up and work again. He calculated that if the workers were forced to endure this, their bodies would soon wear out, giving him ample reason to dismiss them. However, his scheme did not succeed.
