Alla möjliga sorters djur försvinner från sina hem men ingen förstår var de tar vägen. Charlie och hans vänner ska gå till botten med mysteriet, och upptäcker att någon försöker sätta dit Charlie. Både för att avslöja hans hemliga förmåga OCH för hålla honom ansvarig för de försvunna djuren. Som om det inte vore nog är det jobbigt hemma, Charlies föräldrar bråkar hela tiden och ska skiljas.
