Eustace (or Eustace ) finds his classmate Jill crying behind the gym of their school and tells her comforting of his adventures with his cousin Edmund and his cousin Lucy in the land of Narnia. Not convinced of Eustace words they are both discovered and pursued by her classmates. When they then go through a side gate of the school, they end suddenly in a different world and immediately begin to fight over who is to blame for these circumstances.
During the dispute, they come to a cliff and Eustace is accidentally pushed down by Jill. Crying, she staggers through the nearby forest and encounters Aslan, who would delegate the task to the two children to look for the lost son of King Caspian, Prince Rillian. Aslan then sends it with his breath to Narnia, where she meets Eustace again.
The fact that they have not fought a few hours ago is long forgotten and with the help of talking owls flying into northern Narnia, where they meet the Moorwackler Trauerpfützler. Along the journey companions begin their journey to the north where they meet a green-clad woman and a masked knight, which they send to the huge city, so that they remain there for a few days. But when they get there, they are spoiled and thus seduced into staying, because the true goal of the Giants is to get them to eat at a party. The children and Trauerpfützler learn this in a timely manner and flee into a tunnel, where they are held in place by underworld creatures, which bring them to their queen. This, however, is not present and they are in her palace greeted by a man, who turns out to be the masked knight whom they met previously. You ask him for explanations that his mistress wanted to eat from the giants, but he only replies that his mistress would do the right thing and it must be a misunderstanding.
Later that day the young man warned the children and Trauerpfützler before that he occasionally had tantrums and that he had to be tied up during these tantrums to a silver chair, so as not to hurt yourself. When he really gets such a fit of rage, he says that he is the missing prince Rillian and that they must free him quickly. The children come in doubt as to which of the two statements can be believed. Whether he is the true prince when he sits on the silver chair, or if there are only the announced bouts of madness. Finally, they risk it and free him. Then they smashed the silver chair. Here, suddenly, the green witch in the room appears. She is killed in the Battle of Rillian and takes the form of a snake at. The same snake had killed Rillians mother years earlier and kidnaps him with help from her magic. However, he manages to leave the realm of the underworld and Rillian meets his father King Caspian. Shortly thereafter dies Caspian and Rillian is king. Jill and Eustace return later in their own world and can defeat their classmates with the help of Aslan.
