to the bathroom, escapes from the royal carriage and rides a borrowed cow to see the princess on his own. He secretly enters the princess's castle garden, climbs a tree to get a better view of the princess's chambers, falls into a pond, and in the process unwittingly meets
Princess Helena. He is then caught by the castle guards and imprisoned. The king lies for the sake of the neighbouring king, making excuses and feeling ashamed of the prince who has escaped. He says his son is ill. Gradually he becomes entangled in his lies. But the princess falls in love with the unknown prisoner, unaware that he is Prince Václav, her future fiancé. In order to cancel her expected engagement to a prince she does not yet know, she feigns sadness and declares that she will only marry a man who makes her laugh. Coincidentally, without his knowing it, Prince Václav succeeds. His incognito is thus revealed, however, and Princess Helena is briefly offended by this and has Václav imprisoned again and formally sentenced to execution - but in fact he is never executed in the "merry" kingdom. Two royal advisors, Y and X, announce that the prince and princess do not want each other. Eventually, the two kings are told that Prince Wenceslas is in prison and that means there will be war. Two generals, namely former advisors X and Y, take command of both armies. The prince and princess immediately reconcile and capture the two generals in the night, ending the war. The film ends with Prince Václav handing over control of both kingdoms and getting married. The treacherous generals and counsellors X and Y are punished as they deserve.
