Synopsis

Princess Arabella, bored with castle life, swaps roles with Tom, a humble shepherd. Finding shepherding dull, she tricks the villagers by falsely crying 'Wolf!' and 'Troll!' When a real dragon appears and she calls for help, the villagers ignore her, thinking it's another prank. Tom, however, sees the danger and bravely saves her. Arabella learns the importance of honesty and vows never to lie again.
