Summary
A Prince grown weary of rich attire, banquets, tournaments, and the available princesses of his realm disguises himself as a ragged minstrel. He travels about, learning the life of the lowly and slaying a dragon or two, until he hears of the matchless beauty of the Princess Saralinda, who is held captive by an evil Duke. The Prince realizes that Saralinda is the maiden he has been seeking and resolves to win her hand in spite of the staggering perils imposed on her suitors by the Duke of Coffin Castle. The Golux, who must always be on hand when people are in peril (even though his magic is highly unreliable and his memory capricious at best), arrives to aid the Prince in this dangerous quest.
