But her beloved sailor doll turned into a real little man and went off to seek his fortune, becoming Captain of the frigate Ariel. So Amy pined away and-behold She turning into a doll herself. "Why, this means that almost anything could happen " says the Captain upon his return. And almost anything does, as the two set out on the Ariel with a crew that includes rabbits, dogs, cats, monkeys, and other animals (who were all once dolls themselves) on a dangerous quest for gold treasure.
