The story follows a group of birds who must prepare for an approaching storm, but the arrogant Mottmott is too preoccupied with his fabulous tail to help. He soon realizes the consequences of his selfishness when he is left stranded in the storm and loses his beautiful tail feathers. The Clock Bird finds a new home in the forest and teaches the importance of teamwork.
