Les soeurs Lincoln s?ment des pens?es tout autour de leur maison, mais lorsque vient le temps d'admirer le r?sultat de leur travail, les fleurs ont disparu! Eugenia soup?onne Mercy. Furieuse, elle demande l'aide de Francine Poulet, l'agente de contr?le des animaux, qui se met imm?diatement en route. Lorsqu'elle arrive chez Mercy, celui-ci a disparu! Francine Poulet cherche des indices en essayant de penser comme un cochon, mais ce n'est pas chose facile, car personne ne peut penser comme Mercy, le meilleur petit cochon!

Eugenia and Baby Lincoln may live next door to a pig, but that doesn't stop them from living a gracious life. And the amiable Mercy Watson is equally determined to follow the delightful scent (and delicious taste) of the pansies her thoughtful neighbors are planting to beautify their yard. "Where have all the flowers gone?" shouts Eugenia, who is finally ready to take extreme measures -- and dial Animal Control! Has Mercy's swine song come at last? Or will her well-pampered instincts keep her in buttered toast?
