Similar in plot to Look and Read’s “Sky Hunter.” Two 12-year-olds, Beetle Whitman and Alex Banks, decide to investigate the disappearance of Peregrine falcons owned by Hawkeye Brown and Beetle’s father. Their suspicion falls on Frank Bagley, a pet shop owner. When Alex finds himself trapped in Bagley’s van on the way to a disused airfield, Beetle and Hawkeye give chase on the latter’s iconic motorcycle and sidecar combination. They arrive just in time and, in an exciting finale, the motorcycle prevents the plane with the stolen Peregrines aboard from taking off. The sidecar plays a pivotal role in proceedings, as it should.
