In a distant realm, a long time ago, King Sextimus is unable to speak due to a curse.
Meanwhile, his wife, Queen Aggravain, took control of the kingdom. Most importantly, in an attempt to keep Prince Dauntless single, she decreed that only the princess who passes her test will be able to marry her son. In addition, it requires that no one in the kingdom can marry before Prince Dauntless. Lady Larken and Sir Harry are very upset because Lady Larken is pregnant.
Fortunately, Sir Harry is able to find an incredible princess, Winnifred the Woebegone. She catches Prince Dauntless's attention and ends up passing the Queen's supposedly impassable sensitivity test. When the Queen continues to prevent Prince Dauntless from getting married, he tells her to shut up, which breaks the curse on the King. Now able to speak, King Sextimus regains his rightful place as head of the kingdom, all's well that ends well!
