Princess Sophie's 18th birthday is celebrated with a 21-gun salute, cheering nobility, a beaming birthday girl, and lots of presents. A perfect Baroque party. But a shadow soon falls over the day.
For Princess Sophie is supposed to marry rich Prince Frederick of all people, in order to save her father's kingdom from bankruptcy. But then, a strange heirloom from Sophie's mysterious, deceased mother, a golden orb, foils the strict king's plans for his daughter. The sphere is supposed to help Sophie follow her heart. As in the Grimm fairy tale, the orb falls in the water. The Frog King salvages the gold ball, cheekily gaining entry to the beautiful Princess' table and chambers. But when the Frog King hops into her four-poster bed, the orb works its spell: Sophie removes the curse from the Frog King, and defies her father's wishes. The child-like Princess has become a woman who can find her own way in the world.
