In the story, an owl, a loving duo of adolescent sparrows, and some flight-loving mice join together to combat the threat to their lives presented by Fagin, a hawk-like predator who oppresses them. They construct various traps and surprises for the evil bird. When they are not doing that, they have some fun together. One highlight of the show is a seaside sequence in which a seagull entertainer leads a dance and gets everybody, including some cardplaying birds, a few drunk ones, and a flirtatious hen, to join in. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
