The three little karnoogs (lambs) set out into Jermuk, Armenia to build their own homes and make their Mayreeg (mother) proud. However, a wicked kayl (wolf) is determined to eat a karnoog meal. Houses are blown down, and more devilish tricks are unveiled, until the kayl ends up with a burnt voreeg (butt) in some hot madzoon aboor (yogurt soup).
