Synopsis

(Continued from Episode 41) The effort to rescue the dragon starts immediately under the tutelage of Buffoon. But Rocodile, the nasty wheeler-dealer, employs Dolf to snatch the dragon away, as he plans to use it as an attraction at his amusement park. Alfred and Buffoon, however, work together with the help of Buffoon's language-translating device to let the dragon out of captivity and go home to his own planet.
