When young Bilike finds an ordinary ping pong ball, he
and his friends take to flights of imaginative whimsy
and embark on a journey to find the source of the mysterious
unknown object. Bilike's old grandmother says the ball
is a glowing pearl sent by the gods, but the boys are
skeptical after it fails the test. Since none of their
other family members are able to offer any more insight,
the three boys trek to the faraway monastery to consult
the wise lamas. But even the grasslands' most knowledgeable
inhabitants are stumped. When a television show finally
reveals that the object is the "national ball of
China," the determined young scouts set off to return
the ping-pong ball to the Chinese capital, where an even
bigger adventure and more amusing trouble await them.
