Eager for fame and money, Bob convinces John to "rent" Yowler to local corrupt businessman, Lester [=McIntyre=]. John, who is coerced in part by the offer to have the mounting taxes on the castle paid off, allows Lester to take Yowler in. He does so also partly because of his growing interest in Beth. Yowler is miserable and harassed in the new theme park built for him, and when it becomes clear that [=McIntyre=] has duped them in order to exploit the dragon, John and his new friends take action.
