In the village of Chander, Trap Jaw and Beast Man break into the Shrine of the Gryphon to steal the Gryphon jewel, and place it in the grounds of the Royal Palace. Myth says that 200 years ago, the Gryphon – a giant fire-breathing dragon with a lion's head – entrusted the people of Chander to guard the jewel, and will return to cause destruction if anything happens to it. The evil duo plan for the Gryphon to attack the Royal Palace, but a young paige called Thad, who is upset that no-one ever seems to notice him, discovers the hidden gem. Feeling that it makes him someone important, he refuses to part with it, and soon, the Gryphon is wrecking destruction in search of the missing jewel...
