FRAME 1

This program starts with a delivery woman bringing in a package with books in it. Lionel comes in and asks his parents if his new book is here. Theo opens the package and takes four books out, "The Selfish Giant by Trish Tishman", "A Very Squishy Fish by Kishma Kishburn", "Miss Gish's Wishes by Misha Fisher", and "Cliff Hanger and the Fish and the Eagle by Livingston Dangerously", which was the book Lionel wanted! Then Leona arrives and wanted to know what Lionel's new book is, but Lionel tells her that she won't be interested in it. The Adventures of Cliff Hanger: Cliff Hanger and the Fish and the Eagle (part 1). Lionel tells his little sister Leona that it's the brand new Cliff Hanger adventure. She wanted her brother to read the book to her, despite not liking the Cliff Hanger books. So he reads "Cliff Hanger and the Fish and the Eagle", where in it, Cliff Hanger sees an eagle and dresses up as a big fish so he can get off the cliff. Leona tells Lionel that eagles don't eat fish, but the latter tells her that they do, so he decided to show her proof that eagles do eat fish. Busterfield says that he is not ticklish, but Clay tells him that everybody is ticklish so she and Walter show proof by tickling him, only to realize that he isn't ticklish, so the pigeons leave.

FRAME 2

Lionel reads a book about Real Eagles so Leona can know that eagles do eat fish. They then go to the Bald Eagle page that says that they eat fish, which is the same kind of eagle as the one in the cliffhanger book. Leona is surprised that eagles do eat fish, and decides to dress up like one so that her wish can come true.

FRAME 3

Leona comes back with a fish costume just like Cliff Hanger, and tells the eagle in the book to pick her up so she can go flying. Lionel tells her that the eagle won't pick her up because real eagles won't think she's a fish. After Lionel leaves to finish his book, the eagle comes out of the book and picks Leona up. Lionel continues the story from where it left off. The eagle gets Cliff Hanger off the cliff and drops him into its nest. Unfortunately, the eaglets begin eating Cliff Hanger's fish costume, so he jumps off the nest, and back on the cliff. After the story is finished, Lionel suddenly hears Leona's voice and is shocked that the eagle took her inside the book! The Adventures of Cliff Hanger: Cliff Hanger and the Fish and the Eagle (part 2). Leona sings a song while the eagle carries her, until the eagle notices that she's just a lion cub in a fish costume, so he drops her, causing her to fall! Theo and Cleo tell Lionel that it's time for dinner, but Lionel says there's no time, and the parents are shocked that Leona is in the Cliff Hanger book, still falling. They call for Click's help and she drags and drops Leona out of the book in time! Leona tells her parents that eagles eat fish and she went flying, but Lionel dosen't believe her. Walter comes back with a jackhammer and tells Clay that this is how they'll tickle a stone statue. Fortunately, Walter's plan worked, Busterfield is ticklish!

 * Announcer: Buster is not ticklish.
