When a young Chinese-Austrian boy invites his best friend Danny to spend the summer at his grandfather's house on Hainan Island in China, the two friends must work together to save their elderly host's shadow theater from loan sharks. Little does Danny realize that a marionette named Mozart has come to life, and hitched a ride to China in his suitcase, and as the theater is threatened by circling loan sharks, the kids and the puppets collaborate on a plan to save the theater once and for all.
