There is panic at the supermarket as desperate mothers rush for the last remaining warm feather jackets for their frozen children. Mr Bowens, the proprietor assures his customers that there will be a delivery of down jackets no later than the next day. What a strange coincidence then that the pigeons are witness to a bizarre kidnapping at a bird shop. Masked men remove the birds and take them to a farm where it looks like Mr Bowens himself is preparing for an imminent mass plucking. For this he has a formidable looking machine endowed with gleaming tweezers. The pigeons are terrified and summon Pigeon Boy to save the birds and convince Mr Bowens to give every child a free down jacket to protect them from the cold.
