Storyline
Zatara has been having lunch with some old friends, but the youngster has to go back to school, complaining how dull it will be after hearing Zatara's tales. Zatara decides to visit the classroom, but in invisible form. He animates the depiction of the Pilgrims being attacked by native Americans in 1632, then takes the class under the ocean, to the top of a volcano, and to the snowy wastes of Alaska, before returning them safely to the classroom, wiser and more enthusiastic about their lessons.
