Description

When Elmer Elevator hears about the baby dragon being held captive on Wild Island, he knows just what to do. First, he packs his knapsack with important supplies, like chewing gum, lollipops and lots of rubber bands. Then he stows away on a ship headed for the island.

Along the way, Elmer meets many exotic animals who try to sidetrack him, but Elmer has some tricks up his sleeve... or more precisely, in his knapsack. One way or another, he will rescue the dragon!
