When a construction crew destroys a small wilderness area near the Alden home, Amy finds an abandoned nest of 17 goose eggs.

Seifert comes over to the Alden house, and explains that the geese have imprinted on Amy as their mother.

Aided by his friend Barry, Thomas instructs Amy how to fly an ultralight aircraft of her own, and soon, the birds successfully follow her.
