Summary

An amusing and thought provoking comedy for children and a lesson for adults. The King and Queen discover their son, the Prince, doesn't talk. They haven't realized they've never given him the chance. The pretty young maiden points this out, but they don't heed her. And so they have the Prince tested by three zany wizards. Of course, there's nothing wrong with him, but by now he's lost his confidence and is afraid to speak. When it seems all efforts have failed, the young maiden finds a way to make him speak. Announcing she's leaving the kingdom forever, the prince speaks out to stop her and all ends well.
