A whimsical early-cinema fairy tale that balances wonder and peril as a prince ventures into a magical realm to rescue his betrothed from a witch's curse.

At the royal court, a prince is presenting the princess whom he is pledged to marry when a witch suddenly appears. Though driven off, the witch soon returns, summons some of her servants, and carries off the princess. A rescue party is quickly organized, but the unfortunate captive has been taken to a strange, forbidding realm, from where it will be impossible to rescue her without some special help.
