About this episode

A brave suitor attempts to navigate a dark underground palace to rescue a hidden princess.

Would you be able to find your way through a dark, underground palace? Would you magically know the secret password to open hidden doors? This king is counting on your failure... but let's just see how one brave (and bold!) suitor can master the underground labyrinth in order to find the princess bride! Once upon a time there was a king who had great riches, which, when he died, he divided among his three sons. The two eldest of these lived in rioting and feasting, and thus wasted and squandered their father’s wealth till nothing remained, and they found themselves in want and misery. The youngest of the three sons, on the contrary, made good use of his portion. He married a wife and soon they had a most beautiful daughter, for whom, when she was grown up, he caused a great palace to be built underground, and then offed the architect who had built it. Next he shut up his daughter inside, and then sent heralds all over the world to make known that he who should find the king’s daughter should have her to wife. If he were not capable of finding her then he must die. Many young men sought to discover her, but all perished in the attempt... Will this be a "happily ever after"…
