The Screech Owls are in Washington, D.C., for the International Goodwill Peewee Championship – and Nish is about to become a “news flash” seen round the world! Literally. Because the craziest Owl ever has a brand-new plan: to streak the White House.

His way into the White House, he believes, is through the Screech Owls’ new friend, who not only plays centre for the Washington Wall, but just happens to be the son of the U.S. president!
