Kto sa bojí, nech nejde do Temného lesa. Naši hrdinovia - budúci riťjer Vilo a jeho kamarátka Ruženka - sa tam vydali, aby splnili riťjerskú úlohu. Padali na nich lenivé levy -lenivy, prepadla ich bývalá rusalka Pieskovica, zožrať ich chcel Diaľničný vlk, nálety na nich robili ohnivé komáre, vybuchovali granátové jabĺčka, až ich napokon zajal Drak z Rozoklanej hory. Napriek tomu sa vrátili do Pevnosti Uprostredlesa, aby sa postavili zoči-voči človeku-drakovi a iným mocipánom.
