Synopsis

A hilarious fairy tale about a stubborn princess and a clumsy prince with lots of real and pretend devils who
really know how to make life complicated! Princess Anette refuses to marry Prince Jerome from the
neighboring kingdom. The children were engaged to each other in a pact to form a military alliance with
Jerome’s father, King Frederick. Anette’s father, King Leopold, would like to save his daughter from this
undesirable wedding, but he cannot break his royal vow without starting a war with Frederick, whose army
is much stronger. Leopold thinks up a spectacular illusion: He sends a dispatch to Frederick explaining that
Lucifer himself is vying for the hand of the princess.  He could not have known about the avalanche of
unpredictable consequences he was unleashing which includes not only the rage of hell, but also of
Hellcathie, the jealous bride of Lucifer himself…
