Convinced by Pero to pose as a prince in an attempt to win the heart of the lovely Princess Rose, Pierre finds himself falling for the girl just as the villainous Lucifer swoops in to kidnap her. Now Pero and Pierre must strike out for the ultimate adventure as they journey to Lucifer's labyrinthine castle and do battle with his treacherous minions in order to save the frightened princess and restore peace to a land consumed by chaos.
