Summaries

A meek young Russian peasant finds himself on the adventure of a lifetime when he is mysteriously bestowed with a flying ship that sets sail for the Tsar's royal court.

Based on a Russian folk tale. A proclamation went out through all the land that whosoever could build a flying ship would win the hand of the Tsar's daughter. The youngest son of a simple peasant shows up to claim her, and the dumbfounded Tsar quickly has second thoughts, setting several 'impossible" tasks for 'The Fool of the World' and his remarkable friends.—Jerry Andrews <[email protected]>
