A young girl and her two small brothers are awakened one morning by a small unusual visitor – a wizard from a mystical land on quest to find the final ingredient needed to make his magic potion. The Wizard’s homeland is ruled by a mad emperor who is capturing the little peace-loving inhabitants and selling them into slavery. The Wizard’s potion will give him the power needed to combat the emperor.

After realizing that his original plan to obtain the ingredient, a “fresh-cut” lock of golden hair, will not work, the Wizard decides that the only alternative is to take the three young children back to his island home.
