Together, Draco and Bowen (Dennis Quaid), move from town to town terrorizing the locals and then having Bowen "fight" off Draco to save the day. They survive together on the spoils and riches the town people offer to their "hero". Unfortunately, when Draco was a younger dragon, he helped save the life of a young child. As this boy grows, he becomes a self absorbed King of the land. Draco and the new King are bound together in ways that Draco didn't expect and Bowen and Draco must rally together and fight against this tyrant....
