The episode begins with Maria finding Rosita trying to use her wings to fly like birds. Rosita believes that since everyone in her family has wings, she should be able to fly. However, Maria asks if any of Rosita's family members can fly, and Rosita realizes that none of them can. Upset about not being able to fly, Maria takes Rosita to someone who will understand her feelings, Big Bird.
In the second street scene, Rosita and Maria walk in on Big Bird conducting a Birdketeer meeting. Big Bird understands why Rosita is upset - he and the Birdketeers can't fly either. They still have fun flapping their wings, though. After leaving the nest, Rosita becomes determined to find other things to do with her monster-wings.
In the third street scene, at Hooper's Store, Alan becomes exhausted from moving boxes. Rosita runs into him and thinks about what to do with her wings while flapping them. Alan points out that her wings can generate a cool breeze, which feels refreshing to him after all that hard work. Rosita feels proud of her newfound talent, but when she flaps her wings faster, she accidentally blows Alan away.
In the fourth street scene, Rosita meets Tarah and tells her about her quest to find uses for her wings. This reminds Tarah of her own experiences being in a wheelchair. She can't walk with her legs, but she can still race with her friends. Rosita can't run very fast, but Tarah suggests she might go faster if she flapped her wings. Rosita tries this and discovers that she can indeed run faster with her wings.
In the fifth street scene, Big Bird and the Birdketeers give Rosita her own Birdketeer hat and invite her to come "fly" with them. They all sing "We're Flying" as they pretend to fly together.
