Merton Mercudio is suspended form school for uncontrollable fighting, and sentenced to four minutes in the land of Droon.

We enter the whimsical land of Droon, and find it is really the world of Merton's conscience and imagination.

While there, seeking his princess, Merton learns about anger management from King Meltdown, a self-centered, cowardly king; his daughter, the beautiful but rebellious Princess Melody; her mother, the bossy queen, Lady Notsofast, who holds her daughter prisoner; a two-headed, insult-slinging monster, and the cowardly but lovable Grumbo the Grindylow.

For Merton, four minutes in Droon proves to be a valuable lesson that will last him a lifetime.
