The spells of three whimsical witches go awry and Snow White, the Princess from Princess and the Pea, Beauty, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty all appear out of nowhere, much to their aggravation. Dwarfs, soldiers and a frog materialize when even more spells get confused. The frog is turned into a prince and the princesses are turning into frogs when the witches stumble on a solution in this fine kettle of fish.
