The co-pilot Mr. Osswald has a bird. For real! He and his colleague flew a large load of chicks to Cairo, the capital of Egypt. They are about to fly on to Kenya when Mr. Osswald discovers a little chick in the cargo hold. That would be a great Christmas present for his son Max! His colleague Alexander is initially not at all enthusiastic about Osswald's new companion. "It'll beep," he probably thinks. And how it beeps! At customs control, Mr. Osswald pretends to be his wristwatch. So the two pilots arrive safely in a hotel in Kenya with the chick named Harry. But oh hurt: the little birdie has suddenly disappeared! Fortunately, Young Lester is currently living in the hotel, who is a really good detective. Together with his aunt, sniffer Lester tries to solve the mystery of the missing bird. Meanwhile, Mr. Alexander is looking for a replacement for Harry in a market - too stupid that he doesn't know the local language at all ...
