In 1994, during the 75th edition of the King Sausage Contest at Moppel, two butchers, Smak and Tuitjes, wind up in a fight after the former’s sausages are criticized for containing rat tails, which leads both of them to be disqualified from the contest for 25 years.

25 years later, young girl Babs is a vegetarian whose family forbids any kind of meat, and has a brother, Tijn. One day, on her birthday, she adopts a piglet at a farm, who she names “Oink”. The next day, Tuitjes explains that Smak is intending to use Oink to produce sausages for the 100th edition of the King Sausage Contest.

The following day, Oink wrecks her mother’s vegetable garden after being forced to take a bath, much to her mother’s dismay. Babs, refusing to let Oink go, gives her mother one more chance for her pet. She takes Oink to a pet obedience test to try to train the piglet with Tuitjes’ help, and succeeds in doing so. After that she and Tuitjes decides to throw a party for Oink. At the party back home, after Oink accidentally defecates on the floor, her mother orders Babs to take the pig back to the farm as it is causing trouble, but Babs refuses.

Smak reveals to Babs that Tuitjes is actually intending to use Oink to make sausages for the contest. On the day of the 100th edition of the King Sausage Contest, Tuitjes abducts Oink. Babs and Tijn go to a shed at the farm, where they find Oink being held captive here. Tuitjes nearly forces Oink into a meat grinder, but the piglet’s excrement is used on the grinder instead, prompting him to flee on a tractor with the piglet. Babs’ family arrive, and they all pursue and stop Tuitjes, and rescue Oink. Tuitjes unintentionally takes the excrement sausages to the contest, not only when he suddenly realizes that he took the wrong ones in, leading him to getting disqualified from the contest permanently and resulting in Smak winning the title of King Sausage of the Century. One year later, her family joins the contest, making new kinds of sausages. Babs wins the contest, while Tuitjes infiltrates the contest in a costume.

In the small town of Moppel, where sausage-making is a celebrated tradition, a long-running rivalry between two butchers, Smak and Tuitjes, has shaped local lore for decades. The annual King Sausage Contest is the pride of the community, a spirited affair that draws competitors and spectators from across the region, with its centennial milestone looming large on the horizon. The air carries the smoky aroma of tradition, and every household has an opinion on the craft.

Into this meat-loving world steps Babs, a spirited young vegetarian whose family has banned all animal products from their home. She shares a close bond with her brother Tijn, and together they navigate the quiet rhythms of a household that stands apart from their neighbors. For her birthday, Babs receives an unexpected gift from her eccentric and distant grandfather: a charming but mischievous piglet whom she names Oink. The small squealing creature arrives with chaos and curiosity in equal measure.

The arrival of a pig in a vegetarian household upends daily life in the most comedic ways. Determined to prove her mother wrong about the challenges of raising such an unusual pet, Babs throws herself into house-training Oink, enlisting the gruff help of Tuitjes, who becomes an unlikely ally. As bath time goes awry and the family vegetable garden falls victim to the piglet’s antics, Babs’s resolve is tested, but her affection for the cheeky little animal only grows stronger.

Beneath the humor and household chaos lies a tender story about belonging, stubbornness, and the bonds formed when someone dares to defy expectations. With the town’s beloved contest approaching and Oink settling clumsily into her new life, Babs is poised to discover just how much a small piglet can change everything.
