A brave young and clumsy shield master Jil is the latest member of a band of adventurers who are trying to reach the top of the Tower of Druaga and slay its dark lord. However, young Jil turns out to be somewhat of a burden, literally.
Jil is thrown out of the group for gross incompetence, so he returns to the human city located at the base of the tower to form a new adventuring party. A female healer and a female warrior join up after his less than inspiring speech.
Jil overhears his former party leader Neeba talking about a plan to assassinate the king who had just arrived with the army to climb the tower. Mistakenly believing that brave Neeba is in on the plot, Jil goes to stop him.
Warrior lancer Ahmey and magic heeler Kaaya recruit Melt, a cowardly smug grumpy wizard, and his very young sweet smart and strong carrier and cook Coopa. They and Jil end up in jail as suspects for the assassination attempt.
While climbing the tower, Jil and his new party arrive at the labyrinth of an ancient magician who loved practical jokes and left plenty of surprises for the unwary adventurers. However, his ultimate challenge will be the toughest.
The Gang helps an old adventurer who's looking for his long lost son. They arrive at another village in the tower. Coopa befriends a young thief who's trying to prove that his missing father is innocent of a theft.
Jil and his party must convince other jaded adventurers and mercenaries to join them and the army in the fight against a giant ferocious dragon that killed Neeba's previous party and is now blocking the way up the tower.
In a tribute to The Tower of Druaga (1984) video game this show is based on, Kaaya manipulates Jil into entering the ruins of the former smaller Tower of Druaga to reach the prize at its top. Ahmey helps out by reading a walk-through.
After reaching the level where illusions can kill and everything is upside down, everyone gets separated and join up with lost members of the other parties. More is revealed about their individual reasons to climb the tower.
After a treacherous climb marked by so much pain and sacrifice, Jil fights the battle of his life against Druaga. When the fight ends, a shocking discovery proves that, for some, the journey is only beginning.
