Jasper the Elf decides to redecorate to surprise his friend. Naughty fairy Sapphire, Pearlie’s cousin, convinces Jasper to give her a chance to do a good deed for a change. But she can’t be trusted and together with two ratty felons, Scrag and Mr Flea, she plots to make sure Pearlie loses her home and her magic.
