==Biography==
===Zog===
Pearl is first seen as a young girl reading a book outside her palace before her governess tries to show her how to make flower arrangements. However, Pearl loses interest and leaves the palace grounds where she encounters a young dragon named Zog, who has a cut on his nose after he crashed into a tree whilst learning to fly along with his classmates at Dragon School. Pearl tends to him and puts a plaster on the cut.
A year later, Pearl is seen in a carriage reading where she sees Zog being chased by the two knights that were accompanying her. She catches up with him and gives him a peppermint to help his sore throat, which was preventing him from roaring. Zog gives Pearl a hug before flying off.
The next year, Pearl is in her palace seen being taught embroidery by her governess. However, Pearl instead sews up a teddy bear whilst reading a medical book, much to the annoyance of the governess, who sweeps the teddy and the book off of Pearl's table a places a embroidered cushion. Pearl looks outside and sees Zog crash land in a pond outside the palace. She approaches him puts a bandage on his wing after he accidentally set it on fire after learning how to breath fire.
Another year passes and Pearl is seen in her palace looking in a mirror whilst holding up a dress to her reflection. She then accidentally knocks over a vase before discovering a secret tunnel under a tile. Pearl uses the tunnel to escape the palace. Pearl again meets Zog, who for his fourth year at Dragon School, has to capture a princess. Pearl reveals to Zog that she is a princess while introducing her name and agrees to be Zog's captive. After Zog is given a gold star by his teacher Madame Dragon for completing his task, Pearl serves as a doctor to the other dragons.
A year later, Pearl sees Zog being confronted by a knight named Sir Gadabout, who has come to rescue Pearl. She stops the fight and says that she will not return to her palace as a princess, wanting to be a doctor instead. Pearl then tends to Zog and Sir Gadabout's injuries. Sir Gadabout reforms and wishes to be a doctor too. Pearl and Sir Gadabout become "flying doctors" with Zog as their ambulance.
Pearl then bids farewell to Madame Dragon and the other dragons as she leaves with Zog and Sir Gadabout.
===Zog and the Flying Doctors===
Pearl is seen in a flashback as a child in her palace pretending to be a doctor to her toys just as her uncle The King comes in. Pearl tells The King that she wants to be a doctor, only for The King to tell her that her duty is to wear the crown and be a royal beauty.
In the present day, Pearl along with Zog and Gadabout are carrying out their jobs as flying doctors. They arrive in a forest and tend to the animals there. They then fly over an ocean and see a mermaid crying in pain due to being sunburnt. Pearl rubs special cream onto the mermaid's skin and gives her a sun hat.
The trio then spot a two horned unicorn that has a large branch caught in them. Zog removes the branch, only for the unicorn to get another branch caught in his horns. Gadabout is able to solve the problem by cutting off the extra horn.
The trio then encounter a lion who has the flu. Pearl gives the lion a pill and advises him to keep warm. However the cave where the lion lives is cold, so Zog and Gadabout make a campfire for him.
They then fly away and get caught in a storm. Through the storm, Pearl sees the palace and decides that they should land there. They crash land and knock over a statue. The noise attracts The King, who confronts Pearl over her whereabouts and also the whereabouts of her crown and dress. Pearl tells The King that she is a doctor now. The King replies that princesses cannot be doctors before having Pearl confined to a room in a tower in the palace. Pearl is once again assigned with her governess and spends many hours sewing cushions and arranging flowers. 
One day, Pearl's governess has a burn on her hand, to which Pearl makes a ointment to heal it. Another time, Pearl is tasked by her governess to help her cat, who has a cold. Pearl later notices that the cat's collar has a key on it. Pearl uses the key to get out of her room where she sees a chance to escape the palace via an open window. Just then, Pearl hears a groan coming from The King's room and goes in and sees him lying ill in bed and has developed orange skin. Pearl decides to help her uncle rather than escape. She goes to the palace's library and spends days reading several medical books to find out what her uncle has whilst being visited by Zog and Gadabout. One day, she notices two birds on her windowsill, one of which is orange (like The King) and sneezing. Pearl gets an idea and reads a book about bird illnesses and discovers that it is orange fever that The King has and tells Zog and Gadabout had the ingredients she needs for a cure is grated unicorn horn, a lion's sneeze, mermaid scales and slime. The pair succeed in getting the ingredients and bring them to Pearl who mixes them together with half a pound of cheese.
Pearl then goes to The King's room. The King is annoyed to see Pearl as a doctor but is too weak to talk. Pearl then attempts to give The King the medicine, but he refuses to take it. Eventually, The King begrudgingly agrees to take the medicine. After three spoonfuls of the medicine, The King regains his health and see that princesses can be doctors after all. He apologies to Pearl for locking her up and says that she is free but asks her to visit and bring her friends for tea. Pearl and The King go outside and see that the guards have captured Zog and Gadabout. However, The King orders the guards to free them. 
Pearl gives The King a farewell hug before she and Gadabout mount Zog and fly off into the sunset.
