But his quest for coins comes at a cost. He awakes to find that his overworked dragon flame has run out, just as he has to fulfil a huge order for the Queen! The fairy godmother tells him of a legendary curry made from rare spices from all ends of the world, and so his quest for the hottest and rarest spices begins.

He returns to his cave, exhausted, and cooks the world's hottest curry. He scoffs the lot, his stomach rumbles and the kingdom holds its breath in anticipation. A huge flame erupts from the cave, but it does not come from the dragon's mouth... Can Barry hide his secret from the kingdom? And how will it affect his cooking career?
