While exploring in the cellar he spots an old trunk shut tight with age.Suddenly the trunk slowly vibrates then bursts open! He rushes over and looks inside, soon to discover The Secret in the Cellar.

But it is not a simple as all of that, as the evil Wizard Bathos also wants the book and will stop at nothing to get it. Timmy is taken on an adventure full of dragons, flying carpets, monsters, and wizards.
