Behind schedule, Kit finds a passage that will get them home quicker. Baloo complies, but then inquires why he’s never heard of this route. Kit tells him it’s the Mirle Pass. Baloo panics, because the Mirle Pass takes a miracle to get through. They end up landing in the ocean and Baloo bangs his head. When he wakes up, he can’t remember anything including how to fly. When Wildcat and Kit take him back up, they get caught in a thunderstorm. They’re forced to bail, but Baloo gets trapped behind in the Sea Duck. He’s rescued when a man named Joe McGee coaches him down over the radio. McGee attempts to help him overcome his fear of flying and remember his many successful flights.
