A young boy runs away from home to rescue an abused baby dragon held captive to serve as a free twenty-four hour, seven-days-a-week ferry for the lazy wild animals living on Wild Island.

On their way home, Elmer and a flying dragon land on an unusual island and help some canaries uncover a buried treasure. Sequel to "My Father's Dragon."

Elmer must come once again to the aid of his flying baby dragon when men discover its retreat and begin to hunt it.
