A pint-sized character called Inkie catches a radio storyteller named Uncle John doctoring children's tales with commercial plugs—and gets tossed off the air for calling him out. When Inkie finds himself transported into the storybook realm itself, he teams up with Thor and Jack the Giant Killer to teach Uncle John a lesson about respecting the classics, with a little help from thunder, lightning, and a mysteriously convenient hurricane. It's a delightful romp that pits fictional integrity against sponsor-driven compromise, all wrapped up in the earnest, over-the-top spirit of 1940s humor comics.
