It's a big day for Maxie, Flash, Fergie and Lady. The first day of the film shoot for the movie that is going to make them into stars! They've been through a lot to get here at last and they're looking forward to a great time. But nothing is quite as it seems on the film set and when on the first night one of their co-stars, the great stunt plane Daredevil, is kidnapped, the four friends are flung into mystery and danger. How will they find Daredevil and defeat the bad guy before the humans come back in the morning?
