A sickened king is told he needs the Water of Life from the Evil Forest to recover. His elder selfish son Franz seeks it to reclaim his inheritance from his brother. But after insulting and threatening a gnome, he is trapped in the Valley of No Return. Prince Joesf goes and gets the gnome's help for his respect, and is directed by the North Wind. He enters an enchanted castle which appears periodically, rescues an imprisoned princess whom he falls in love with, and collects the water. But on the way back through the valley he rescues Franz, who replaces his water with a poisoned supply so Josef will be suspected of treachery.
