His adventurous nature takes him all over the wooded mountains surrounding his home and guides him to a number of extraordinary discoveries. It's on one of these treks along the nearby stream that Jimmy finds a strange flower he's never seen before. Taking a flower, bulb and all back to a local American Indian, Jo-Pac, Jimmy learns that he's found a patch of Magic Red Ring flowers, created by an ancient Takoda Indian medicine man. As Jimmy listens to Jo-Pac weave a tale of history, trial, and magic, he realizes that he's being presented a choice: he can either embark on a magical adventure fraught with greater peril than he's ever faced, or he can stay home and avoid the hazards of the mystical world that lays just a Red Ring flower bulb away. As Jimmy and his friend Tommy set off on an adventure, only time will tell what dangers they'll encounter and whether they'll escape with their lives.
