Jesse and Gramps sit by a blazing fire, looking for pictures in the flames. No sooner does Jesse spot a dragon than it roars and comes to life! Jesse and Gramps find themselves in a wondrous imaginary land, with the clumsy fire dragon close behind. Can Jesse save Gramps from the not-so-dangerous dragon and lead them safely home?

"And they rocked in front of the fire, back and forth, back and forth."

"The dragon was so close, his flames licked Jesse's heels. 'Run for your life!' shouted Gramps."
