On his way home from school, Stuart saves a canary named Margalo who is being pursued by a peregrine falcon, and they become friends. But Margalo is secretly working with Falcon to case and steal from households. When he presses her to find and take an object of value, or lose the sanctuary he promised her, she can't seem to concentrate on her assignment, as she is beginning to fall in love with Stuart. Falcon eventually loses patience and threatens to eat Stuart if Margalo doesn't give him the ring.
