A young prince seeks a true princess to marry, but every candidate he meets seems unsuitable. One stormy night, a drenched young woman arrives at the castle, claiming to be a princess. To test her authenticity, the queen places a tiny pea beneath a towering stack of mattresses. The next morning, the young woman reveals she had a restless night due to something hard in the bed, proving her sensitivity and true royal nature. The prince and princess marry, living happily ever after.
