Together, Paul and Norris embark on a treacherous rescue adventure to help find Connie the peahen a new home. But when they arrive, a little lost egg joins the rescue party... much to Paul's dismay! When the egg hatches into a peafowl chick, Paul tries to leave it behind, but eventually takes the chick under his - colourful - wing! The little chick soon shows Paul that being caring and thoughtful may be worth it after all.
