Jonathan's life turns upside down when he finds an old beat-up wheelchair in a pile of trash. His plan is to repair it and give it to his friend at school. As he and his sister begin cleaning the wheelchair, they discover the wheelchair can transform into a flying machine. They decide to return the wheelchair and end up meeting the owner, an old man, who tells them of a flight he will take to a far-off city using the wheelchair to find his brother. The fun starts when they venture off-the old man, Jonathan, and Jonathan's sister-on an unbelievable flying adventure of a lifetime. Landing in a far-off city becomes a wonderful experience of independence and responsibility for Jonathan and his sister as they search for the old man's brother.
