This whimsical tale features a character named Major Monkey, who, with his cap and colorful military uniform, brings an adventurous spirit to the animal inhabitants of Pleasant Valley. The book explores themes of friendship, mischief, and the consequences of trickery in a lighthearted manner, suitable for young readers.

He soon organizes an "army" of forest creatures, promising them exciting adventures and the thrill of battle against intruders. However, as the tale unfolds, Major Monkey's antics—ranging from mischievous stone-throwing to stealing bird eggs—lead to various conflicts and comedic situations. Eventually, Major Monkey finds himself caught in a predicament that leads to a reunion with his original owner, the organ-grinder, hinting at further adventures.
