Synopsis

For a classroom presentation on "unusual trades," Lola follows Aunt Ramona, Buba's twin sister, a shepherdess who happens to be leading her flock through the Beauvillage hills. Meanwhile, Billy is doing his presentation on his father's new electronic surveillance system, and to test it out, he's stuck a microchip patch to Curly so he can follow the flock's course on his screen. Yet he's soon stunned to discover that the on-screen blip is gaining altitude! Could the Tofus' sheep somehow be flying?
