A Prince battles a boastful parrot with cunning help from a red winged helper and a fairy. Animals trap the bird by a drawn circle, the parrot loses its magic, and the wicked old man is dethroned by the King with a magic palm leaf. The tale closes with the Prince securing future safety and the parrot’s fate uncertain.

A Philadelphia Record style vignette recounts the Norton family misadventure as they chase and recover their lost dog Snooks.

Captain Sandberg reports the ship survived the encounter with the birds marking the strange event.
