Short description

Colin, an ambitious young American businessman, has a deal with a potential client, a rich Arab sheikh who is a passionate pigeon fancier. The sheikh has tried several times to buy a champion pigeon, but the owner continues to stubbornly refuse his offer. In an attempt to gain the trust of the Sheikh, Colin offers him a deal: if he manages to convince the owner to sell the champion pigeon, the sheikh will agree to do business with Colin's company. But when Colin meets Jos, the grumpy owner of the pigeon, and Isabella, his granddaughter, he realizes that this mission will not be as easy as he had hoped.

What's left behind the scenes

The winner of the pigeon race is determined by flight speed, not by who returns home first, as shown in the film. The reason is that the distance to each pigeon’s loft is different, and flight speed was made the winning criterion to prevent the pigeon with the shortest distance from winning.
