A few nights after Old Major made his speech in the barn to all the animals he dies, and for three months the animals are left there planning and making preparations to carry out his dying wish; to overthrow Mr.Jones and to take control of the farm. The leading of all these preparations lies in the hands of Snowball and Napoleon, two pigs, who take care of business alongside a younger pig called Squealer. The animals on the farm find it hard to get used to the plan for overthrowing their master because he has born and raised as slaves. With the help of Boxer and Clover, two cart horses (Boxer is known widely for his strength), the pigs finally manage to prepare the rest of the "comrades" for revolution.
One day, the animals decided to rebel against Mr.Jones and his men. Mr.Jones had been drinking with his neglected and lazy men and had forgotten to feed the animals, the cows, who were craving food, broke out and went to break into the food storage. Mr.Jones came down and started whipping the cows, which enraged the rest of the farm animals and caused a revolution; horses, pigs, donkeys, sheep, all started to pile out and soon enough managed to drive the humans away from the land. Surprised, after their immense success, they decided to run around the fields in a victory celebration as if to make sure no human trace was left. After having galloped triumphantly around the plot, they come back and burn all of the evidence of their slavery: chains, whips, even Boxer's hat that kept the flies off during the summer, everything had to go.
They sang "Beasts of England" all night long until they were too tired to carry on any longer. The next day, the pigs taught the rest of the animals how to read and write and Snowball replaced the "Manor Farm" sign with "Animal Farm".
