When her parents deny her simple request for a pet dog, Cora decides she has finally had enough. She sends a desperate letter to her fairy godmother, begging for a rescue. However, instead of a magical carriage or a cute puppy, she receives a giant, unpredictable crocodile. This new scaly friend has absolutely no interest in behaving properly. While Cora sneaks away to climb trees, get delightfully muddy, and finally enjoy being a kid, the crocodile takes her place inside the castle. Get ready for a hilarious, chaotic afternoon as this wild reptile turns the royal household upside down and teaches the king and queen a very important lesson about letting children have fun.
