Do ponies have pet birds? No, of course not. But Lou's family has acquired a new member, and a talkative one at that, with the mynah bird Anselmus. However, the fun is short-lived, as suddenly Lou's pony Liquorice is missing. It is soon obvious that he has been stolen. Lou feels terribly lonely, but then she moves heaven and earth to get her beloved pony back.
