Join Willie the Whirly Bird and his friends as he learns an important lesson about work and play.

Willie is an adventurous new helicopter who wants to spend time with his friends, but all he wants to do is play and learn tricks. His friends Bob and Bill, who are older, bigger helicopters, are getting frustrated because they can't play all day; they have important work that needs to be done for the park rangers. But Willie still doesn't understand.

When a fire breaks out at the ranger station, Willie gets the chance to use the skills he's learned to save the day. He learns that play time is OK, as long as you do your work first!
