In the olden days, King Normanus had a son, Prince Norman, who disliked the fair sex so, before his death, he issued a decree that the Prince must marry within ninety days. If his wishes were not obeyed, his nephew, Prince Charles, should ascend the throne. The Councillors to Prince Norman present several ladies and urge him to choose a bride, but he is unable to do so, and informs them he “will not marry unless to his liking, for all the Kingdoms in the world.” The ninety days are almost at an end. Only one day remains before Charles will become King, but fearing Prince Norman, at the eleventh hour, may succumb to some Princess’s charms on the archery field, Prince Charles plans a hunt and induces the Prince to join him. In the forest, Wild Flower, a beautiful girl, is mistaken for a wild boar and almost shot. Prince Norman follows her to her grandmother’s home in the wood and partakes of some refreshment. While there, he is warned by Wild Flower’s fairy godmother, that he may lose the throne, so he marries this daughter of the woods and takes her to his kingdom. Prince Charles’ plot has failed. Wild Flower shocks the Court by her behavior, and, feeling unhappy in her surroundings, discards her robes, dressing in the same clothes when the Prince met her, and with her kid, whose entrance to a banquet disturbed the equilibrium of the diners, determines to return to her grandmother’s home. She slips away from the royal bed chamber, but is stopped by the castle ghost, who bids her follow him. He leads her into the forest and points to Charles’ advisers plotting under a tree, telling her to beware of them. He disappears and her Fairy Godmother appears and shows her in a cauldron, a plot to assassinate Prince Norman. She hurries back to the palace in time to save him. The Coronation Ceremony is performed and all ends happily. |
