When Elmer Elevator hears about the plight of an overworked and under-appreciated baby flying dragon, he stows away on a ship and travels to Wild Island to rescue the dragon. With the advice of a befriended alley cat, and a backpack of oddly assorted items, Elmer's resourcefulness helps him on his quest. His various encounters on the island are delightfully illustrated throughout this timeless story.
