SYNOPSIS:  Musical Comedy. Due to an unhappy curse, King Sextimus is unable
to speak. Meanwhile, his terror-of-a-wife, Queen Aggravain, has taken over
control of the kingdom. Most importantly, to keep Prince Dauntless single,
she has decreed that only the princess that can pass her test may marry her
son. Further, no one else in the kingdom may marry until Prince Dauntless
does. Lady Larken and Sir Harry are extremely disturbed by this fact since
Lady Larken is now pregnant with Sir Harry's baby. Luckily, Sir Harry is
able to find an amazing princess, Winnifred the Woebegone. She instantly
catches the attention of Prince Dauntless, and in the end, is able to pass
the Queen's supposedly impassable sensitivity test. When the Queen still
tries to prevent the Prince Dauntless from marrying, he tells her to 'shut
up' which ends up breaking the curse on the king. Now able to speak, King
Sextimus regains his rightful position as leader of the kingdom, and all is
well.
