The book features a narrative centered around the odd and whimsical events surrounding a rooster in Quakenbrück that allegedly lays eggs, leading to a bizarre court case that stirs up tension and humor among the townsfolk, especially highlighting the dynamics between characters like Bürgermeister Tile von Stint, his assertive wife Armida, and various townspeople.
