Archy The Flying Dolphin is a children's fantasy/adventure set on a fictitious coastline that promises to be a rollercoaster ride of fun, excitement and danger. Curiosity leads a ten year old boy and his sister on a perilous journey of discovery, where evil forces lurk round every mysterious corner. During their quest they learn the true value of love and family, and realize that a little curiosity can be extremely dangerous.
When Thomas and his sister, Suzy, spend a summer vacation with their uncle, a retired fisherman who lives by the sea, they are welcomed aboard Shanty Cottage with a good old fashioned seafaring tale. To tell the truth Uncle Fibber scares the daylights out of them with a rip roarin' yarn about three Cutthroat Smugglers, lost at sea, exactly one hundred years ago to this very day. However, it's said their ill-fated vessel will rise from the murky depths to wreak its vengeance and anyone who dares set foot upon its hazardous deck shall invoke an evil curse, whereby... their nearest and dearest will be banished into a never ending darkness.
And true enough, playing on the nearby beach, Thomas and Suzy come across an old fishing trawler half buried in sand. Curiously, they peek into its darkened hull and find a dolphin trapped inside. Of course, they're compelled to rescue him. But as they haul the overheated mammal back into the water they discover he's magic... he can fly!
As a 'thank you' for saving his life, Archy the Flying Dolphin takes them for a ride. What an experience! What a thrill! Any child would love to fly on the back of a dolphin, high above the clouds, safe inside his blue crystallized bubble.
However, when they return to the cottage the entire area is clouded in darkness and... their uncle disappears. Convinced they've invoked the curse they travel to Sunshine Island in search of Archy. He'll help. He's magic! But they soon discover there's only one person who can break the evil curse - Victoria von Vampire. Trouble is... she loves to boil kids in her coffin pot stew.
During their journey of courage and discovery, Thomas and Suzy are determined to find Victoria in order to free their poor uncle from the clutches of darkness. Together, they confront the powerful forces of evil until finally... Thomas must enter Victoria's hideout at Sleepy Swamp. Of course they are helped along the way by their new best friend Archy the Flying Dolphin. But is he truly their friend? Or is he merely another part of the evil curse guiding Thomas and Suzy to become the final ingredients in Victoria's infamous stew?
