When granddad was young he flew through the air in a magnificent balloon using the name "The Great Sandusky". What better way to celebrate his life than to recreate that experience for all the world to see! So Albie and Chris decide to re-inflate the old balloon - but they can't do it alone. It will take all the energy and creativity of their new friend, Miss Pudd, to help the boys with their adventure - and before she knows it, to share in their adventure too!

The witch-burning days of New England are graphically recalled in this film adaptation of Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic short story.
