SUMMARY

During the II World War, a princess, who wants to be a singer, lives in a castle with a library full of talking mice. One day, the princess goes to the castle of the Dublin King to talk to him about their treasures, but in the way, she meets a dragon and it kidnaps her. The fairy, who looks everything, informs the soldier about the kidnapping. The soldier does not believe the fairy and he decides to to to her castle to discover the truth. There, he meets two mice who give good pieces of advice and they tell the soldier that he has to call for two children, friends of them, who can ask for some wishes. After that, the soldier goes to the dragon´s castle to fight against it. He goes with the children, mice and the fairy. During the fight, the princess shouts desperately, the dragon throws a lightning to the soldier and the mice ask the children for a mirror together (the wishes have to be asked together) in which the lightning ricochets and kills the dragon. Everyone saves the princess, who invites all her friends to a party in her castle, in whick she sings a song and people dance and have a good time.
