Mole discovers a chicken egg. He tries to locate the mother, but has no luck. Mole spies a tray of eggs entering a building, so he jumps onto a tray of eggs, which rides on a conveyor belt. As they ride, the egg partially hatches. The conveyor belt carries them into a cookie and cake factory, where mole shelters the chick during a trip through the machinery. Finally mole and chick emerge unharmed; they exit the factory in a box of wafers. Mole returns the chick to her mother, and then crumbles a wafer to feed it.
