In 1801, in Chesire, Massachusetts, Elder John Leland organizes his fellow townspeople to make a big cheese for President Jefferson who up until that time had been forced to eat inferior cheeses.
When the wonderful, smelly, scrumptious cheese made once a month out of the milk of a one-horned, two-eared, three-legged cowabunga is stolen from the dell, Sherlock Bones is enlisted to find out what happened.
