After an unsuccessful attempt to impress his friends with his musical talents, young Max and his faithful dog Presto, retreat to their hideout in the attic. Unrolling an ancient scroll, Max hears a magical spell that sends him on a musical misadventure to a vibrant South American country where the evil wizard, Adalberto, is sewing discord and disharmony.
