Rebecca is a young girl about to celebrate her seventh birthday. One night, after seeing a shooting star, she makes a wish, hoping that magical fairies would attend her party. Quite surprisingly, one of them does; but when Rebecca's mischievous and misbehaving friend Michael cruelly crushes a butterfly, it turns out to be the Supreme Fairy Queen Samantha. Suddenly Rebecca and Michael, along with their friends Fredericka and Zeb, are transported into a magical land where time stands still. There they have many adventures and enlist the help of some native bush animals to try and teach Michael a lesson about being so cruel to harmless creatures. Michael refuses to see the errors of his ways and is made to stand trial for inflicting such damage on the Fairy Queen, whose job it is to maintain balance in the universe. Eventually Michael meets the Wonambee, a strange and mystical snake who shows him the errors of his ways. Now that Michael has finally repented, the children must set out to somehow heal the Fairy Queen and find their way back to their own world.
