Prince Fergus is about to be crowned king since his father is stepping down to concentrate on his dancing, but the king's evil sister has a plan to steal the throne for herself and puts a spell on Fergus turning him a frog.
The only way to break the spell is to have his friend request accepted by a princess. Luckily poor Fergus finds the spoiled Princess Peony. Although she promises to befriend Fergus, she breaks her promise.
Meanwhile, in the palace, King Tom is determined to rid the kingdom of the feral frog. He enlists the help of Ron and Don, the bumbling royal odd job men who just can’t seem to get anything right. And the lovely Princess Fenella from the kingdom next door is missing! Her mother is very, very worried!
Will the pouty Princess be Fergus' friend?
Will he stay a frog forever?
Will Fenella be found safe and sound?
Plenty of interactive fun for all.
