The action is set at King Humphrey’s Palace and in a village called Much Belching in the Kingdom of Dyspepsia.

The peace and tranquillity in the kingdom of Dyspepsia is shattered as Queen Esmerelda’s screams echo around the maternity ward of the palace hospital. The beautiful baby Princess Adora is born and looks set to have an idyllic life until she is cursed by evil fairy Dark Ada.

As Adora’s twenty first birthday approaches, the Royal household prepare to protect their beloved Princess from pricking her finger and falling to sleep for one hundred years. But with Nurse Nellie causing chaos on the dance floor and a horse rampaging through the hospital wards, will anyone notice Pimpleworm the goblin luring Adora to her fate?
