Who wouldn't want a donkey that drops gold coins, a hen that lays golden eggs, or even a goldfish that grants all wishes! Adults, let alone rulers, usually know that such phenomena do not belong in the life of an ordinary kingdom. However, this does not apply to the very kind but overly trusting king from our fairy tale! He is completely under the thumb of his cunning advisor Pitras and servant Johan, who make a decent living off their ruler's naivety. Everything changes, however, after Princess Beata returns from her studies. She cannot be fooled, and so hard times begin for the swindlers. Pitras, in order to get rid of the princess, suggests to the king that the girl must marry quickly, preferably somewhere far away. But Beáta is not giving up either. She intends to get rid of the parasites and finds an ally for her plan in the young gardener David, who would do anything for his childhood friend!
