Mr. Seguin, known for his unlucky goats, adopts an eighth goat with a strong character and a sharp mind. Unlike her predecessors, this goat refuses to be intimidated and suggests that Mr. Seguin teach her to drive so she can escape the wolf. Thanks to her intelligence, she manages her cheese business skillfully, but soon faces competition from a new vendor. To improve her products, she decides to go to the mountains in search of herbs and leaves, taking Mr. Seguin with her by car.

In the mountains, while Mr. Seguin is picking leaves, he encounters the wolf. However, the goat, singing a song about a hunter, frightens the wolf and his entire family away. With her boldness and cleverness, the eighth goat drives the wolves out of the mountain for good. She becomes a local heroine, her cheeses are a huge success, and peace returns to the mountain.

This tale humorously and modernly revisits the legend of Mr. Seguin, highlighting prudence, intelligence, and courage in the face of danger.
