The film features the voices of Mae Whitman, reprising her role of Tinker Bell, Christina Hendricks as a dust-keeper fairy named Zarina, and Tom Hiddleston as James (a young Captain Hook).

During the show, Tinker Bell, Silvermist, Iridessa, Rosetta, Fawn, and Vidia spot Zarina flying around the audience and using pink pixie dust to summon poppies that cause everyone to fall asleep.

They struggle with their swapped talents as they search for Zarina and the pirates, in the process meeting a baby crocodile that takes a liking to Rosetta.

The fairies attempt to retrieve the blue pixie dust but are caught when Iridessa loses control over her nature talent and reveals their location.

After joyfully flying around the cave, James betrays Zarina and traps her in a lantern, revealing himself as the real captain, and that he and the other pirates had been using her the whole time.

Tinker Bell offers her a chance to return to Pixie Hollow and she accepts, helping her friends sail the ship back.

During the post credit scenes, James finally evades the crocodile but is stranded in the ocean until he is rescued by Mr. Smee, who compliments the hook in his possession.
