A boy buys a bottle of magic bubble solution and creates fantastic bubble creations (kangaroo, sailboat). All is well until his bubbles turn on him, and he must figure out how to chase the creatures away. This simple, predictable story is told with few words, but the expressive pictures of giant bubble creations and a jubilant boy in knickers and cap steal the show.
