Gloria gives Richie a pet parakeet named Jo-Jo. However, Jo-Jo flies out an open window, prompting the entire Rich estate staff and all of Freckles and Richie's friends to begin hunting for the missing bird. The search does not go well, so many people independently decide to buy Richie another parakeet. Meanwhile, Gloria is waiting for Richie back at his home, where she tells him that Jo-Jo returned to her house. However, by this time there are dozens of parakeets flying inside Richie's room and he can't tell which one is Jo-Jo.
