The Gromble is sick and Simpah, the horrible Cafeteria Monster, has been put in charge of the students. When she threatens to make them eat human food, Ickis, Krumm and Oblina beg The Gromble to come back. The Gromble says the only thing that will cure him is Gromble Soup, but you need special ingredients....the crown of a king, the head of a dragon and the tail of an ogre. Ickis, Krumm and Oblina each set out to obtain one of the ingredients.
