Doc and Yoyo meet Johannes 'Hannes', the lifelong loyal servant of young King Nicholas, who is besotted since he saw a portrait with mean King Ronald's beautiful daughter, Princess Aurelia. They seduce her and hope to appease Ronald with gold, but he enlists a sorcerer to lay a triple curse on the wedding causing people to be petrified, so he can seize the country he coveted since Nicholas's wise father's rule. Hannes braves that fate during his hanging, all to save Nicholas, who then decides with Aurelia to redeem Hannes, with surprising consequences.
