Synopsis

An airship carrying Sheeta– an orphan girl abducted by the government agent Muska– is attacked by Dola and her air pirate gang, who seek Sheeta's crystal necklace. Attempting to escape, Sheeta falls from the airship but is saved by the crystal's magic, which gently lowers her to the ground. Pazu, an orphan working as a mechanic in a 19th-century mining town, catches her and takes her home to recover.
