Episode Summary
Major Monogram is sick in bed, so Carl comes over to read a fantasy novel to him.

In the backyard of the cottage of the humble antique dealer, wizards Phineas and Ferb-a-lot are testing out some of their magic potions, which allow them to change into various mythological creatures, to disapproval of their sister Candadere. Suddenly, The Lady of the Puddle emerges from the rain and informes the two that they must go on a quest to find the legendary sword Excaliferb, and use it to defeat the evil Millifishmertz. The magical water sprite Isabel arrives to guide them on their quest.

Meanwhile Perrable the Dragonpus sneaks off to recieve his mission from a king with a long mustache in a tower who resembles Major Monogram. Carl informes Major Monogram that the character only appears breifly at the beginning, to his dismay.
