Along the way, Prince Ananias meets a group of hardworking peasants who teach him the importance of labor and the rewards that come with it. He also falls in love with a beautiful peasant girl named Rosalba, but their love is threatened by the evil Duke of Burgundy, who wants to marry Rosalba for her wealth.
