Plot

Puff finds a young boy named Terry who has an overactive imagination, and who therefore has trouble making friends with other children. Instead he has an imaginary friend, a duck wearing a saucepan with a feather as a hat, named Mr. Nobody. When Terry's imagination starts to get him in trouble, Terry begins to blame Mr. Nobody for imagining the things that he has dreamed up, until he ceases to believe that he has any imagination of his own. Eventually, Mr. Nobody abandons him, and Puff must take Terry on a quest to find Mr. Nobody, teaching him along the way to embrace his creativity.
