Upset at the fact that he is unable to fulfil his promise to the queen Mostyn happens accidently upon a sheppard who is suffering from the same sleepy problems as him. They work together to think of a fun and fantastic way to make sure that they will neither of them will ever fall asleep again while counting sheep.
