| Synopsis | With the kingdom terrorised by a fire-breathing dragon, the King desperately issues a call for help. With none forthcoming save the less than impressive Prince Jodrel, it falls to Georgina to take on the challenge. Unfortunately Georgina is the newly-appointed royal cook and isn't much better than the hapless prince. However, with a reward of a thousand gold pieces on offer, the unlikely pair must at least make an effort. |
