The story of a young man moves from Montana to Florida with his family, where he's compelled to engage in a fight to protect a population of endangered owls, and that a tough girl at his school named Beatrice has some connection with the barefoot boy, who has some connection with vandalism at the construction site. When they realize that a population of endangered burrowing owls is threatened by new construction the kids decide to take on crooked politicians and bumbling cops in the hope of saving their new friends.

The fine print beneath the newspaper photo showing the spray-painted police car credits Wil Shriner as the photographer.

Roy Eberhardt:
We've got to stop this construction once and for all.


Mullet Fingers:
We're the only ones who care.


Roy Eberhardt:
We're the only ones that know!

Continuity: When the burlap bag is placed on Roy's head, the bag changes position after they come through the trees.
