Pippi takes Tommy and Annika on a ride to a desolate landscape by the sea. She has made kites on strings for all of them. On her own kite she places her monkey, Mr. Nilsson, so he can experience how it is to fly as a bird. From the kites on the strings the children get the idea to let Pippi play a dragon in a cave, who chases Tommy and Annika. Meantime Mr. Nilsson disappears, so they have to go around searching for him.
