In the kingdom of Wanderlust there's a terrible crisis. The Princess has not been able to laugh for fifteen years and unless some one can break this spell of sadness her bumbling father, King Absolute, will be forced to give her in marriage to the evil Grand Bunkleman. The frantic antics of her subjects make everyone (including the audience) laugh, except the poor Princess. Helped by Nurse Funjollity, two scamps Perk and Smack almost but not quite succeed and all seems lost. A handsome youth appears, a commoner, but uncommon is his trick of turning tears to laughter to the Princess he loves at first sight.
