A shy and quiet World War II evacuee is housed by a disgruntled old man, and they soon develop a close bond.

Four Edwardian children find a strange egg in their newly-arrived Persian carpet. It hatches into a Phoenix bird that grants wishes and also transforms the rug into a magic carpet, which takes them on a series of adventures all over the world and at home. A truncated edit of the three-hour miniseries for the home video market.
