Tired of their owners’ aggression, the cat, rooster, donkey and dog leave their homes and travel together to the nearby town of Bremen. There, they expect to discover musicians, for even at the time of tyranny, each of the animals was drawn to music.

On their way to Bremen, the future musicians make a halt in a nearby forest to rest. A large tree was chosen as an object of rest, under the crowns of which everyone settled down. And only the rooster climbed to the top of the tree, arguing that it was his own comfort.

However, the group never had a restful sleep. Near their location was a group of bandits. To get rid of the bandits, the musicians decide to sing their own music. So far, however, their singing resembled battle cries, which frightened the renegades.

But in this way, the animals not only chased away the bandit horde, but also provided themselves with a place to sleep, as there was a hut nearby where the renegades had settled down. But the bandits did not want to leave such a thing unpunished.
