Princess Pearl, Sir Gadabout and Zog the dragon make a most unlikely flying doctor team who are committed to treating all kinds of creatures, real and mythical, including a sunburnt mermaid, a unicorn with an extra horn and a lion with the flu. One day, the trio accidentally fly into a storm. It’s hard flying and Gadabout and Zog are tired and miserable, so when Pearl spots her uncle’s castle they decide to fly down to take shelter. But the King isn’t happy to see that Pearl has discarded her pretty dresses and is now a doctor, so he captures her and holds her locked in the castle. Zog and Gadabout try all sorts of ways to get her out, but their efforts are in vain. Just as Pearl sees a way to escape she discovers that her uncle has become extremely sick and surprisingly orange, and she makes the brave decision to stay and find a way to treat him. With Zog and Gadabout’s help (and a clue from a poorly dove) she finds a cure which needs ingredients from their friends the lion, unicorn and mermaid, which Zog and Gadabout fly off to get. After some gentle persuasion, Pearl convinces the King to take the medicine, and soon he is dancing with delight. He finally admits that Princesses can be doctors. A final grand goodbye sets the trio on their way once more, and Zog and the Flying Doctors speed away into the sunset.
