Jim O'Donnell is travelling with his family on a train journey through central Australia when he spies a giant bird tumbling from the sky. Concerned for the bird's safety, Jim presses the emergency stop button and exits the train in the ensuing confusion. Soon lost in the vast emptiness of the Outback, Jim spots a water tank and makes for it. Suddenly the giant bird Jim had spotted from the train appears, staring at him over the rim of the tank. Has he gone mad with thirst, Jim wonders when he demands that the bird fills a rusty can with water and the bird insists that he says 'Please!'? The confused bird proudly introduces himself as GD, the Giant Duck from Outer Mongolia. Jim and GD become unlikely comrades when Jim fashions a contraption that enables him to be carried along by GD. A fierce wind blows them across the Atlantic Ocean. They tumble down near a shantytown, close to Johannesburg. There they meet Tupence, an orphan whose family has died from AIDS. When Tupence helps Jim and GD escape from a gang of local delinquents, he too is swept up into the skies on GD's back. It becomes a life changing experience for the trio as they head off on the adventure of a lifetime in An Upside-Down Tale.
