Princess Patricia Pricilla's 16th birthday looms ahead, and with it comes the obligation to marry one of the noble (and repulsive!) suitors who will be attending her birthday ball. Longing to escape her gilded cage for even a short time, the princess borrows her servant's clothes and sets out to attend school as peasant Pat for a week. There, she meets a handsome and slightly shy school teacher and makes friends with the other children. All too soon, her week of freedom comes to an end and she must face the ball and choose the best suitor. But perhaps things aren't as bleak as they seem. This is, after all, a fairy tale!
