The Pied Piper pipes the village free of rats and when the Mayor and Corporation refuse to pay him for his service, he pipes away the children, too, until the villagers set their things right.
The story of Gumdrop continues in this picture book which follows the author's previous book such as "Gumdrop in Double Trouble" and "Gumdrop on the Rally".
