[Rock music plays]
In an animation, Bo pushes levers and buttons on a controller in the Swop Shop Headquarters. He wears a green hat over his curly, short brown hair. Mojo, a blue vehicle, swaps from an airplane to a firetruck to a bulldozer with a crane on the back. They then swap to a truck with a wrecking ball and spin in a circle.

On the road, Mojo swaps between different types of vehicles.
Singers sing, MOJO. SWOPTOP. SWOP YOUR TOP, AND LET'S GO. IT'S YOU AND ME; WE'RE OUTTA SIGHT.

[Thunder booming, flapping, seabird squawking, tense music plays, whooshing, thumping, seabird screeching, wind gusting, whooshing, clinking, squawking]
A seabird flies beneath grey storm clouds. The bird covers their eyes and falls towards Swoppiton. They bounce off roofs and blow past the town hall. The seabird flies back, grabs a pole, and slides to the base.
[Horn blaring, beeping, clicking, static hissing]
At the Swop Shop Headquarters, Bo presses a button on a computer panel, and Mayor Sunita appears on the screen.
Bo says, MOJO SWOP TOPS.
Mojo says, HELPING YOU IS WHAT WE DO.
On the screen, Mayor Sunita says, AH, HELLO, MOJO AND BO. LOVELY TO—
[Seabird screeching]
Mayor Sunita continues, SEE YOU. WE'VE GOT A BIT OF A—
[Seabird screeching]
Mayor Sunita continues, PROBLEM.
[Whooshing, seabird screeching]
Mayor Sunita points to the seabird clinging to the pole.
Mayor Sunita says, THERE'S A SCREECHING SEABIRD ON THE TOWNHALL ROOF. I THINK HE MIGHT BE STUCK.
In the headquarters, Bo asks, WHAT'S A BIRD DOING STUCK ON A ROOF? WHY DOESN'T IT JUST FLY AWAY?
On the screen, Mayor Sunita says, I THINK THE STORM LAST NIGHT FRIGHTENED HIM.
In the headquarters, Mojo says, WE'LL BE THERE IN A JIFFY, MAYOR SUNITA.
[Beeping, chiming, whirring, upbeat music plays]
Bo pushes a button. An opening in the ceiling closes, and Bo picks up his controller. He and Mojo look at the computer screen.
Bo asks, RIGHT, MOJO, HOW DO WE DEAL WITH A STUCK BIRD?
[Beeping]
The chopper top appears on the computer screen.
Bo asks, HOW ABOUT THE CHOPPER-TOP?
[Mojo laughing]
Mojo replies, THE WIND FROM MY ROTORS WILL RUFFLE HIS FEATHERS. WHY DON'T WE SCOOP HIM UP WITH A DOZER-TOP?
[Whooshing, beeping]
The dozer top appears on the computer screen.
Bo says, THAT SCOOP'S WAY TOO BIG FOR A BIRD. BESIDES, IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS HOLDING ON PRETTY TIGHT.
Mojo says, WELL, THERE'S ONLY ONE THING FOR IT. YOU'LL NEED TO GO UP THERE AND GET HIM YOURSELF.
Bo says, I'VE GOT IT!
[Beeping, chiming, both gasping]
Bo pushes a button on his controller.
Mojo and Bo say, IT'S TIME TO...SWOP THAT TOP!
[Rock music plays, tires screeching, whirring, beeping, clicking]
Mojo drives onto a platform and rises on a vehicle lift. Bo pushes buttons on the controller, and mechanical arms remove Mojo’s tires and lower a cherry picker onto Mojo’s roof. Bo jumps into Mojo and fastens his seatbelt. The garage door opens, and Mojo drives out with the cherry picker top.
Both say, CHERRY PICKER!
[Tires squealing, upbeat music plays, engine revving, Bo grunting]
Mojo drives to the town hall, and Bo jumps out.
Mayor Sunita says, MOJO, BO, THANK GOODNESS YOU'RE HERE.
[The music stops]
The mayor says, THE NOISE IS STARTING TO—
[Seabird screeching, dramatic music notes play]
Mayor Sunita continues, BE A BIT—
[Seabird screeching]
[The mayor sighing]
Bo says, RIGHT, MOJO, GET ME UP THERE AND I'LL SORT OUT THIS FEATHERY FOGHORN.
[Whooshing, thumping, whirring, soft music plays]
Bo puts on a helmet and jumps into the cherry picker basket. Mojo lifts him to the pole.
Bo says, HEY, LITTLE BIRD. YOU CAN'T STAY ON THIS ROOF. GO ON THEN. WHY DON'T YOU FLY AWAY?
[Seabird whimpering]
The bird shakes their head and hugs the pole.
Bo says, OKAY, THEN I'LL TAKE YOU DOWN IN THE CHERRY PICKER. BUT LET'S GET A MOVE ON.
[Seabird whimpering, clock bell ringing loudly, seabird screeching, tense music plays]
The clock tower under the pole shakes and the seabird loses their grip, falling towards Bo.
Bo shouts, MOJO!
[Bo grunting, thumping, soft music plays]
Bo catches the seabird.
Bo says, PHEW! I'VE GOT YOU, LITTLE BUDDY. YOU'RE SAFE NOW.
[Cooing, chiming]
The seabird looks at Bo with huge eyes. Glowing stars surround Bo’s smiling face.
Bo says, HM, ALL RIGHT, MOJO, TAKE US DOWN.
[Whirring, door opening, closing]
Mojo lowers the cherry picker to the ground. Bo takes off his helmet and carries the seabird.
Bo says, OKAY, MAYOR SUNITA, JOB DONE.
[Thudding, hands slapping]
Bo puts the seabird on the ground and wipes his hands together.
Bo says, ONE SQUAWKING SEABIRD SAVED.
The seabird flies up and lands on Bo’s hat.
Bo says, AH! WHAT?
[Seabird squawking, whirring, upbeat music plays]
Mojo raises the cherry picker and smiles.
Bo asks, UH, WHAT'S IT DOIN' NOW?
[Bird happily cooing, rustling]
The seabird kneads the top of Bo’s hat.
Bo says, OH, DON'T DO THAT! YOU'RE GONNA RUIN MY HAT!
[Mojo laughing]
Mojo says, I THINK HE LIKES YOU. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA CALL HIM? HOW ABOUT "FLAPPY?"
Bo says, I'M NOT GONNA CALL HIM ANYTHING. HE'S STAYIN' HERE.
[Footsteps pattering, quiet squawking, flapping]
Bo puts the seabird on the ground and walks away. The bird flies up and lands on his hat.
Bo says, UGH!
[Quiet squawking, flapping, Bo grunting]
Bo puts the bird on the ground and walks away. The bird flies up to Bo’s hat.
Bo says, OH!
Bo puts the bird on the ground and walks away.
[Quiet squawking, flapping, Bo grunting]
Bo runs, and the seabird flies up and lands on his hat. Bo falls, and the two tumble forward.
Bo says, AH! OOH! I CAN'T SEE! I CAN'T SEE!
[Thudding, Bo grunting, quiet squawking, tires squealing]
Bo stands with his hands on his hips and glares at the seabird perched on his hat. Mojo drives over.
Mojo says, OOH! HE'S SO CUTE! CAN WE KEEP HIM?
Behind Bo, Captain Gail walks on the dock.
Bo says, WE ARE NOT KEEPING HIM! HE HAS TO GO BACK TO-- UH, WHEREVER BIRDS COME FROM.
Captain Gail says, 'ROUND HERE, SEABIRDS ONLY COME FROM ONE PLACE. IT'S CALLED SEABIRD POINT.
[Clicking, tense music plays, seabirds squawking]
Captain Gail extends a spyglass and peers at tall, jagged rocks in the lake. Two seabirds fly around the top of the tallest rock.
Captain Gail continues, IT RISES FROM THE LAKE LIKE A BONY FINGER POINTED STRAIGHT AT THE SKY. A DANGEROUS PLACE WHERE SAILORS FEAR TO GO 'CASE THEY BE DASHED UPON THE ROCKS OF POINT AND DOOM.
Mojo says, OH, THAT SOUNDS NICE. CAN WE GO THERE?
[Gentle music plays, rustling]
Bo says, OKAY, BIRD. FLAP AWAY HOME. GO ON. YOU CAN JUST FLY THERE.
[Bird whimpering]
The seabird hugs Bo’s arm.
Bo says, HUH! IT DOESN'T SEEM VERY KEEN.
[Soft music plays]
Mojo says, OKAY, THEN, WE CAN JUST FLY HIM THERE IN MY JET-TOP. EASY!
Captain Gail says, NOT SO EASY. A BIRD LIKE THAT NEEDS TO FLY HIMSELF. AND SINCE HE'S TAKEN SUCH A LIKING TO BO, ONLY BO CAN SHOW HIM HOW.
[Seabirds squawking]
Bo watches seabirds fly across the water to Seabird Point.
Bo says, FINE. IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES TO GET RID OF THIS BIRD. MOJO, I'M GONNA NEED SOME WINGS. IT'S TIME FOR A HOT SWOP.
[Tires squealing, rock music plays, tires screeching, whirring, clicking, whooshing]
In the Swop Shop Headquarters, Bo puts on a helmet and holds a hang glider. The ceiling panel opens, and Mojo flies out wearing the jet top.
Mojo shouts, JET-TOP!
[Whooshing, whirring, tires screeching, upbeat music plays]
In the town square, Bo stands holding his hang glider. The seabird clings to his helmet. Mojo lands on the pavement nearby.
Mojo says, NICE SET OF WINGS, BO.
[Creaking, bird whimpering, flapping]
Bo clamps a cable from a spool attached to Mojo to the hang glider. The seabird slides onto the helmet.
Captain Gail says, YOU'D BETTER HURRY. THERE'S ANOTHER STORM BREWIN'.
Bo asks, ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THIS, BO?
Bo says, IF IT MEANS I GET MY HAT BACK, THEN I'M SURE.
Mojo says, HERE WE GO THEN. STRAPS?
[Clicking]
Bo checks his harness straps.
Bo says, CHECK.
Mojo asks, HELMET?
[Tapping]
Bo knocks on his helmet.
Bo replies, CHECK.
Mojo asks, FLAPPY?
[Nervous squawking, wings flapping]
The seabird, Flappy, slides on the helmet. He lies down and clings to the top.
Bo replies, CHECK.
Mojo says, OKAY, THEN, MOJO IS GO-GO FOR TAKE-OFF.
[Tires squealing, footsteps running, Flappy squawking, Bo panting, lively music plays]
Mojo drives towards the dock past Captain Gail, who waves two green flags. Her yellow rain hat blows off as Mojo passes. Bo runs behind Mojo, attached to the cable.
Captain Gail says, OOH!
[Bo panting, grunting, Mojo shouting happily, water splashing, Bo laughing, upbeat music plays]
Mojo takes off from the end of the dock, and Bo water-skis behind him. Bo lifts into the air and flies behind Mojo.
Mojo shouts, YOU'RE DOING IT, BO!
Bo shouts, I'M FLYING! I'M FLYING!
Mojo shouts, HOW'S FLAPPY DOING?
Flappy clings to the helmet, covering his eyes.
Bo shouts, UH, YEAH. I'M SURE HE'S, UH, FINE.
[Flappy whimpering, rustling, gentle music plays]
Bo helps Flappy stand on the control bar.
Bo says, DON'T WORRY, BIRD. JUST STICK WITH ME.
[Whooshing]
Mojo flies towards Seabird Point.
Mojo shouts, THERE IT IS UP AHEAD!
Mojo and Bo shout, SEABIRD POINT!
[Whirring, whooshing, upbeat music plays]
Mojo says, THERE'S NO RUNWAY!
[Seabirds squawking]
Mojo says, I CAN'T LAND ON THAT CRAGGY OLD ROCK.
Bo says, THE BIRD CAN. GO, BIRD.
[Flappy whimpering]
Bo says, YOU'RE A BIRD. BIRDS DO STUFF LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME.
[Flappy whimpering]
Bo says, YOU'RE... YOU'RE... YOU'RE SCARED?
[Flappy whimpering, whooshing, the music stops]
Bo says, SO AM I. A BIT. BUT WE'LL DO THIS TOGETHER.
[Upbeat music plays, clicking]
Bo pets Flappy and checks his harness.
Bo says, FLAPPY, LET'S GET YOU BACK TO YOUR FAMILY.
[Flappy cooing]
Flappy rubs his face against Bo’s face.
Mojo says, AW! I KNEW YOU LIKED HIM REALLY.
Bo says, WE'RE READY, MOJO.
[Whooshing, upbeat music continues]
Bo unties the cable and flies a hang glider towards the jagged rocks.
Bo cheers, WOO-HOO! WOO-HOO-HOO! THIS IS GREAT!
Flappy stands on Bo’s finger.
Bo says, COME ON, FLAPPY. WHY DON'T YOU TRY? RIGHT. BEAK UP. TAIL OUT. NOW, FLAP THOSE WINGS.
[Wings flapping]
Bo moves his fingers, and Flappy flies.
Bo says, SEE? YOU'RE DOIN' IT, FLAPPY.
[Flappy squawking]
Mojo cheering, HOORAY! FLAPPY IS GO-GO!
[Whooshing, Mojo chuckling, wind gusting, tense music plays]
Grey clouds fill the sky.
Mojo chuckling, IT'S A GOOD THING WE GOT HERE BEFORE THAT STORM.
[Thunder booming, flapping]
Lightning flashes as everyone swoops towards the rocks.
Bo says, UH-OH!
Mojo says, OH, NO!
[Flapping]
Bo says, WE'VE COME THIS FAR. WE'RE NOT GONNA LET A LITTLE STORM STOP US. SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE, MOJO!
[Whirring, Flappy squawking, tense music continues, wind gusting]
Mojo flies forward while Flappy and Bo descend towards Seabird Point.
Bo says, IT'S OKAY, FLAPPY. NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF. JUST A LITTLE STORM. THE TRICK IS TO KEEP FLYING LEVEL.
[Wind gusting, whooshing]
The hang glider spins and levels out.
Bo shouts, WHOA!
[Screw squeaking, clicking]
A screw loosens, and the sail blows off the hang glider.
Bo says, AH!
[Slide whistle, Flappy squawking]
Bo holds the control bar and falls.
Bo shouts, MOJO!
[Flappy squawking, whirring, adventurous music plays]
Flappy and Mojo both dive towards Bo.
Mojo shouts, DON'T WORRY, BO! I'M COMING!
[Bo yelling, whooshing]
Flappy grabs Bo’s helmet and lifts him.
Bo says, FLAPPY! YOU'RE DOIN' IT! YOU'RE DOIN' IT! YOU'RE DOIN' IT!
[Seabirds calling]
On a rock, four birds watch Flappy carry Bo. Flappy flies lower and drops him.
Bo says, YOU'RE NOT DOIN' IT.
[Bo shouting, seabirds calling, tense music plays]
Bo falls, and the four birds dive towards him.
Bo says, HUH?
[Bo laughing, upbeat music plays]
Flappy and the four birds carry Bo. Mojo flies behind them.
Bo says, FLAPPY! IT'S YOUR FAMILY!
[Seabirds calling]
Bo says, WOO-HOO! FLAPPY!
[Squeaking, Bo grunting, sighing]
Mojo opens their roof hatch, and Bo drops onto the seat.
Bo says, THANKS, MOJO. AND THANK YOU, FLAPPY AND FAMILY.
[Bo and Mojo laughing, wings flapping]
Bo cheers, WOO-HOO!
[Flappy whimpering]
The seabirds fly around Seabird Point. Flappy pauses and hovers, watching Bo and Mojo.
Bo says, IT'S OKAY, FLAPPY. YOU'RE THE BEST FLYER I KNOW.
Mojo looks at Bo, and Bo pats Mojo’s windshield.
Bo says, WELL, ONE OF THEM.
[Mojo giggling, wings flapping, Flappy squawking, Mojo whooshing, Bo sniffling]
Flappy follows his family. In Mojo’s cab, Bo wipes his eyes.
Mojo asks, BO, ARE YOU CRYING?
Bo replies, NO, BUT I THINK I AM GONNA MISS FLAPPY.
[Whirring]
Mojo flies towards the setting sun.
Mojo says, OH, BO. IT'LL BE OKAY. YOU'LL SEE.
[Bo chuckling]
Bo says, YOU'RE RIGHT. LET'S GET HOME.
[Upbeat music plays]
Singers sing, MOJO. SWOPTOPS. MOJO. SWOPTOPS. MOJO. SWOPTOPS.

Bo says, IT'S OKAY, FLAPPY. NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF. JUST A LITTLE STORM. THE TRICK IS TO KEEP FLYING LEVEL.
[Wind gusting, whooshing]
The hang glider spins and levels out.
Bo shouts, WHOA!
[Screw squeaking, clicking]
A screw loosens, and the sail blows off the hang glider.
Bo says, AH!
[Slide whistle, Flappy squawking]
Bo holds the control bar and falls.
Bo shouts, MOJO!
[Flappy squawking, whirring, adventurous music plays]
Flappy and Mojo both dive towards Bo.
Mojo shouts, DON'T WORRY, BO! I'M COMING!
[Bo yelling, whooshing]
Flappy grabs Bo’s helmet and lifts him.
Bo says, FLAPPY! YOU'RE DOIN' IT! YOU'RE DOIN' IT! YOU'RE DOIN' IT!
[Seabirds calling]
On a rock, four birds watch Flappy carry Bo. Flappy flies lower and drops him.
Bo says, YOU'RE NOT DOIN' IT.
[Bo shouting, seabirds calling, tense music plays]
Bo falls, and the four birds dive towards him.
Bo says, HUH?
[Bo laughing, upbeat music plays]
Flappy and the four birds carry Bo. Mojo flies behind them.
Bo says, FLAPPY! IT'S YOUR FAMILY!
[Seabirds calling]
Bo says, WOO-HOO! FLAPPY!
[Squeaking, Bo grunting, sighing]
Mojo opens their roof hatch, and Bo drops onto the seat.
Bo says, THANKS, MOJO. AND THANK YOU, FLAPPY AND FAMILY.
[Bo and Mojo laughing, wings flapping]
Bo cheers, WOO-HOO!
[Flappy whimpering]
The seabirds fly around Seabird Point. Flappy pauses and hovers, watching Bo and Mojo.
Bo says, IT'S OKAY, FLAPPY. YOU'RE THE BEST FLYER I KNOW.
Mojo looks at Bo, and Bo pats Mojo’s windshield.
Bo says, WELL, ONE OF THEM.
[Mojo giggling, wings flapping, Flappy squawking, Mojo whooshing, Bo sniffling]
Flappy follows his family. In Mojo’s cab, Bo wipes his eyes.
Mojo asks, BO, ARE YOU CRYING?
Bo replies, NO, BUT I THINK I AM GONNA MISS FLAPPY.
[Whirring]
Mojo flies towards the setting sun.
Mojo says, OH, BO. IT'LL BE OKAY. YOU'LL SEE.
[Bo chuckling]
Bo says, YOU'RE RIGHT. LET'S GET HOME.
[Upbeat music plays]
Singers sing, MOJO. SWOPTOPS. MOJO. SWOPTOPS. MOJO. SWOPTOPS.
