Alf's homing pigeon Cedric is taking part in a big race and Pat has to deliver a special tracking device for Alf to attach to Cedric. Time is short so Pat is in a hurry - so much so that he doesn't notice a naughty magpie steeling the shiny tracker from his van!
Pat tries to track it down but only with the help of the local children, who are using a flying camera to take pictures of the local area, does he manage to get the tracker back and deliver it to Alf. Just in the nick of time!
