Stuart's mother is being over-protective of him, especially when he narrowly escapes injury in a soccer game. His big brother George has also made a new friend, Will, so Stuart is feeing lonely. Stuart rescues a canary, Margalo, from a falcon; she moves in with the Littles. One day, Margalo is nowhere to be found, so Stuart and Snowbell set out across the city to find her while George covers for Stuart (the first time he's had to lie).

The newspaper that lands on Stuart bears the headline "Feathered Filcher Fleeces Fifth Avenue".

Snowbell:
I wish I were the one that was dead!


Margalo:
Really?


Snowbell:
No. But I'm feeling very unhappy!

Continuity: When Stuart confronts Falcon in the Pishkin Building, Stuart and Margalo are alternately standing on and off of the grillwork surrounding the water valve on which Falcon is perched.
