It’s coronation day for the four Jewel Princesses, but where is Princess Roxanne? It seems the young Princess fears the responsibilities and loss of freedom inherent in ruling a kingdom, so she’s run away. Faithful servant Twitter follows the Princess and, when she cannot be persuaded to return to the castle, promises to accompany her. The pair is soon set upon by the evil Darklings, who steal the Princess’s valuable ruby necklace and then attack a goldsmith and his wife on their way to the coronation.

When the foursome discover the Darklings’ plot to dupe the King and Queen into crowning an impostor, it’s up to the Princess to recover her ruby necklace and stop the coronation.

Before he can take over the world.

Borrowed from the mob. Read More »The Longshot [Tim Conway, Harvey Korman]
