- Dart, a dragon, has a prophetic dream of fighting knights, leading him to encounter George, a knight who initially pretends to want a battle but actually offers to hire Dart to fake an abduction.
- George wants Dart to abduct Rosalind so he can rescue her and win her favor, but his plan fails because she is already married and her father dies.
- Dart and George decide to collaborate on a scheme where they stage fake dragon attacks for profit, after a failed attempt with another dragon named Pelladon.
