Nothing is going right for Mr Rossi! Presto! A nutty, bumbling fairy comes to his "rescue" - just blow the magic whistle and he and his dog Harold can escape, far away from troubles, to lands long ago... The whistle takes them through the ages, but each tweet only brings new troubles! They barely "squeak" by with their lives as they meet fire-breathing dragons... hungry Roman lions... scalp-happy Indians... and Robin Hood's deadly arrows... whew! Well, the whistle is magic, but where's the happiness? Wait! Maybe, just maybe, if Mr. Rossi looks hard enough, right here, in his home, in this time...

One day he screams his despair out of the window and is heard by a nutty, bumbling fairy who comes to his "rescue" - just "rescue”. Just blow the magic whistle and he and his dog Harold can escape, far away escape from his troubles, to lands long ago... ago. The whistle takes them Rossi through the ages, but and his boss’s annoying dog (whose name is either Harold or Gastoni, depending on the dub) comes along for the ride, becoming Rossi’s friend in the process. But each tweet trip only brings new troubles! They barely "squeak" squeak by with their lives as they meet fire-breathing dragons... hungry Roman lions... scalp-happy Indians... and Robin Hood's deadly arrows... whew! Well, the whistle is magic, but where's the happiness? Wait! Maybe, just maybe, if Mr. Rossi looks hard enough, it’s right here, in his home, in this time...home...
