A lonely scarecrow tries to befriend a group of birds without success; he doesn't understand why they don't want to approach him. A blind wounded crow falls at the scarecrow's feet and he takes care of it; through the bird, the scarecrow learns why the crows are afraid of him. After learning the news, he walks to his owner's house in the middle of the night, wakes him up, and asks him to give him another job. Little does he know that such an innocent request will bring what follows upon him.
