The Mysterious Stone of Cold Fire
Late one night, Littlefoot sees something amazing! A strange, blue-colored meteor falls from the sky. It crashes into Threehorn Peak, which is a volcano in the Smoking Mountain range.
The next morning, Littlefoot tries to tell the grown-ups in the Great Valley what he saw. But they don't really believe him. Only two new visitors, the mysterious "Rainbow Faces," seem to take him seriously.
What is the Stone?
The Rainbow Faces tell Littlefoot and his friends about amazing things beyond what they know. They suggest the fallen rock might be a "Stone of Cold Fire." This special stone could have magical powers!
However, Cera's father quickly stops the Rainbow Faces. He tells them not to fill the children's heads with such "rubbish." Littlefoot tries to explain that he knows where the flying rock is. But Cera's father warns him that the Mysterious Beyond is off-limits. Littlefoot's grandfather agrees, saying it's best not to make a fuss about the rock for now.
Pterano's Secret Plan
Meanwhile, Pterano, who is Petrie's long-lost uncle, overhears everything. Pterano was once exiled from the herd for leading others into danger. He wants to find the stone and use its powers to take control of the Great Valley.
Pterano asks Petrie, who looks up to him, where the rock landed. Petrie tells him. Ducky accidentally overhears Pterano's plan. Before she can warn her friends, Pterano and his helpers, Rinkus and Sierra, capture her. Rinkus is a Rhamphorhynchus and Sierra is a Cearadactylus. They set off to find the Stone of Cold Fire.
The Search for Ducky
When the adults find out Ducky is missing, they explain more about Pterano. He once led some of their herd during their search for the Valley. But he accidentally led them to a group of dangerous Deinonychus. Pterano managed to fly away, but he was very upset by what happened. He was sent away from the herd as punishment.
The grown-ups are slow to decide what to do. So, Littlefoot, Petrie, Cera, and Spike decide to go find Ducky themselves. A big thunderstorm starts as they begin their journey.
Ducky's Escape and the Volcano
Ducky manages to escape from the Flyers and hides in a cave. The children find her there. Petrie is very sad about his uncle's actions. But Ducky comforts him, saying she thinks Pterano isn't as bad as Rinkus and Sierra. She believes he still has good in him.
Suddenly, Rinkus and Sierra capture Ducky again! They chase the children, even though Pterano told them not to. But the clever children manage to outsmart the two evil Flyers. Sierra then starts to think about betraying Pterano, but Rinkus convinces him to wait until they find the Stone.
The children follow the Flyers, hoping to reach the Stone first. The Rainbow Faces appear again and help them by sharing their knowledge about volcanoes. With their help, the children arrive at Threehorn Peak before the Flyers.
The Truth About the Stone
However, both groups discover that the "Stone of Cold Fire" is just an ordinary meteorite. Pterano is very disappointed. He explains that he wanted to use the stone's power to create a perfect place. He didn't realize that the Great Valley was already that perfect place.
Rinkus and Sierra don't believe the stone isn't magical. They betray Pterano and try to get power from the stone themselves. But as they do, the volcano begins to erupt! Pterano bravely saves Ducky from falling off the mountain during the eruption.
Petrie's mother arrives with a huge flyer friend to help the children escape. Rinkus and Sierra are caught in the meteorite's explosion. They end up burned and bruised back at their camp.
Pterano's Future
Everyone thanks Pterano for saving Ducky. Back in the Great Valley, the grown-ups have a meeting about Pterano's future. Littlefoot's grandfather says that because Pterano saved the children, his exile will be shorter. He will be allowed back in five "cold times" (five winters or years).
Petrie tries to get the grown-ups to let Pterano stay forever. But Petrie's mother explains that even though Pterano is sorry, he still needs to take responsibility for his past actions. Pterano agrees with the punishment and tells Petrie that everyone must be responsible for what they do. He assures Petrie that he will be fine. Petrie sadly says goodbye to Pterano, who says he will miss Petrie.
Beyond the Mysterious Beyond
That night, Littlefoot finds the Rainbow Faces again. He asks them if the meteorite was really a Stone of Cold Fire. They admit it wasn't. But they tell him that his effort to search for it was what truly mattered. They remind him that there are many unknown wonders to discover "beyond the Mysterious Beyond."
Littlefoot looks away for a moment. When he turns back, the Rainbow Faces have disappeared in a bright light. This suggests that the Rainbow Faces are actually aliens from another world! As his friends find him, Littlefoot feels inspired. He realizes that life is wonderful because there are so many mysteries to explore.
