A young boy's wardrobe contains a time hole. Through this hole an assortment of short people (i.e. dwarfs) come while escaping from their master, the supreme being. They take Kevin with them on their adventures through time from Napoleonic times to the Middle Ages to the early 1900s, to the time of Legends and the Fortress of Ultimate Darkness where they confront Evil.

Having failed miserably at getting rich, the lot of them want to tell their side of the story and not the Hollywood version. Each character wants the reader to know the truth behind the scenes of one of the greatest movies ever made.
