The Plot:
A tiny Japanese wizard's "discombobulated" magic sends him to the outback of Australia where
he befriends a charming little girl named Patricia. She has a problem that only Thrump-O-Moto
can help with, if only they could go to Japan. A charming story about magic, determination,
courage and hope.
