But the vacation turns out to hold more adventure than even Morris has bargained for. It begins the moment he is followed off the plane by a mysterious stranger, and the plot thickens as Morris realizes that his new friends, the falcons, are in serious peril. But with Rumpel resourcefulness he manages to save the falcons and emerge the hero of the day.
