It's the day of the ball in Fairyland, but little Princess Tansy is too young to attend. Instead, she watches the proceedings from the terrace high above. From there, she can see her awful Great Aunt Oralia, her lovely sister Princes Melodie, the charming Prince Leon and .... two mysterious characters who are up to no good! What will Tansy do?
