What is The Beak Speaks about?

After his mum leaves, Mark worries about his overworked dad, who juggles caring for him, his sister Tammy, and running a vet practice. To help, Mark advertises for a girlfriend for his dad, attracting the beautiful but sinister Divine and her henchman, Jaundice. Unbeknownst to them, the duo are animal smugglers seeking a vet's assistance. When Divine kidnaps Mark and Tammy, it's up to their pet mynah bird and a clever chimp named Arnold Teabag to save the day.
