Summary
A classic legend is turned upside down. Through the spell of a bumbling magician, a happy frog is transformed into a shy prince with a head cold. Princess Blanda and her hand maidens lose a golden ball in the grotto. This infuriates her father, King Ludwig, and involves everyone in a riotous series of misadventures as they attempt to retrieve the ball, calm the king and correct the wizard's increasingly confused conjuring. The witless wizard, a worried nurse maid, a kindly uncle sort of dragon and a Valkyrie join in the adventure, which ends with a surprising series of magical transformations and a joyous finale.
