In a society of animals, herbivores hold power for many generations. Meat consumption is prohibited. In the provincial town of Zversk, police are investigating a series of murders of herbivorous females. The dog Sharikov and the manul Kogtin - amateur detectives admit that they are not able to find the real killer. Therefore, when an order comes from the administration to find the criminal at any cost, the city commissariat finds nothing better than torture to extract a confession and pin the murders on a random wolf.
