Synopsis by Hal Erickson

In a rare pure-fantasy episode, the cast members of The Cosby Show appear in a visualization of a an antiwar fairy tale penned by youngest Huxtable daughter Rudy (Keshia Knight Pulliam). The story is set in Happyland, where the peace and wellbeing of the Happy People is threatened by the invasion of the Nasty People, headed by the Duke of Doom--played by Rudy's taciturn school chum Peter Chiara (Peter Costa). Others in the ensemble included Rudy herself as the flower-girl heroine, Cliff (Bill Cosby) as the Royal Man-at-Arms, Clair (Phylicia Rashad) as Happyland's song leader, Vanessa (Lisa Bonet) as the Wizard, Theo (Malcolm-Jamal Warner) as the Town Crier, Grandpa Russell (Earle Hyman) as the Mayor, Sondra (Sabrina LeBeauf and Elvin (Geoffrey Owens) as Farmers, and Kenny (Deon Richmond) as the King--all dressed in costumes that look as if a child actually designed them!
