Though able to fly, a much bigger, louder, featherless jet doesn't fit in with a flock of doves. ("'You are not one of us,' they squawked.") But when an early frost grounds the birds, they accept a ride from the airplane. The change-of-heart ending is predictable, but the retro visuals of an airplane trying to roost alongside the doves will get some laughs.
