Hector is working his crops. When a bird flies over, he gets a desire to fly, too. He finds an eagle's nest. As he is getting lessons from a baby eagle, the mother appears. She is not happy with Hector. Not to be outdone, Hector builds himself a flying machine. It doesn't fly. Then he ties himself to a kite and to a horse. He flies... right into a tree.
