The cows request that Farmer Brown get them some electric blankets because it’s cold in the barn but Farmer Brown refuses because he says they are cows and should not use electric blankets. So the cows respond by saying that the hens need electric blankets too. Farmer Brown to take away their type-writer. The cows say they will hand over the type-writer if he gets the electric blankets. Farmer Brown agrees and Duck is to deliver the type-writer because he’s a mutual party.
