The kingdom is an unhappy one. The King has been struck dumb by a witch’s curse and the Queen has assumed power.  She decreed that no one in the Kingdom may wed until Prince Dauntless is married to a true princess of Royal blood. So far…NO ONE qualifies.

Enter Princess Winnifred, as unlike a typical princess as you can get! Prince Dauntless is pretty impressed and is soon obviously in love with her – to the consternation of the angry Queen, who decides to give her an impossible test – a pea is placed beneath twenty mattresses and if Princess Winnifred cannot sleep, she will prove her royal birth.
