One minute he was a college teacher, the next he was a dragon!

Jim Eckert leads a peaceful, happy campus life. He''s a college basketball player and an expert in mediaeval history. But his life has been disrupted by the disappearance of his girlfriend Angie. While taking part in a laboratory experiment on astral projection she just vanished.

In an attempt to find out what''s happened he submits himself to the equipment. A very unwise move.

Next thing he knows he''s in the Middle Ages. Worse, he''s no longer human. He''s in the body of a dragon. Worse still, Angie has been nabbed by another dragon and taken to the Loathly Tower. Obviously, Jim has no option but to give chase . . .
