Jack (Colin Ford) is about to flunk out of Fairy Tale school, so his teacher (Christopher Lloyd) gives him a "special" assignment. In order to avoid failing, and urged by his mother (Katey Sagal), he must follow in his father's footsteps and undertake a heroic deed. He sells his "C.O.W." (Computer of Wonder) for a handful of magic beans and a book that records his adventures as they are happening.
