It's been ten years since Todd was face to face with Uncle Jack. Having spoken often on the phone, the ten years seemed to fly by and now the two were ready for their planned vacation time together. A major part of the journey begins from Todd's home in suburban San Francisco and ends in the Nashville, Tennessee airport. Todd finds his uncle in the baggage area at the end of the flight holding a large birdcage containing Roxxman, the blue-footed booby. Jack Zither drove his nephew and the bird to his house beyond the center of Nashville, in a built up area named Murfreesboro. A small article under the headlines of the local newspaper on Uncle Jack's front steps declared "Employees at M.C. Mesher's Turn into Vegetables". Todd commented, "That can't possibly be true!" Uncle Jack took serious interest in the article, "That's the major competitor of my company, I mean, the company I represent," he muttered. After a few minutes of quizzical mumbling to himself, he turned his attention back to the vacation and sightseeing plans that he and his nephew had worked on. They were ready for rest, relaxation and getting to know each other. One day while on the way to breakfast at a Nashville Waffle house, Jack and Todd noticed several posters announcing a reward for whoever finds and returns a lost rabbit. Not just any rabbit, but one belonging to an actress. After spending time sight-seeing the Parthenon and other local attractions, Uncle Jack informed Todd that they would be going to St. Louis for Jack to attend to a few business matters and then have fun and visit the Gateway Arch and the Mississippi River. Once the two traveling companions stepped on the elevator inside the home office headquarters they were faced with challenging situations. The elevator malfunctioned and when they were helped out, they found themselves in a chaotic scene of panic. Todd and Uncle Jack got separated from one another. Todd is sure he has seen the lost Nashville rabbit in an office in St. Louis. His attempt to make sure the rabbit is rescued puts both the rabbit and himself in very real danger. He no longer knows where his uncle or his pet bird or any other living things besides the rabbit are. Will they all get back together? How?
