Ted Spencer, one of the graduated students of a magic school, begins to work in the British Museum in London. Ted feels a little bit sad about the work, as it won't promise anything interesting, just drabness. One day, however, a famous wizard died, and she had bequeathed all of her books and papers to the museum. One of the books was the mysterious tome, The Portal of Time. Using the book, Ted goes into the past to find magic artifacts.
