The Kingdom of Three Lakes has been struck by an evil curse. The sorcery of magic beings has removed all fish from the local lakes, in order to punish the arrogant King Boleslav for having stolen the prophetic Fish Eye for his new wife, the haughty Queen Gabriela. And as it often happens, worst affected by the punishment of potentates are the common people, in this case those for whom fishing is the main livelihood. And so they start revolting. Meanwhile the thief and swindler Nevergive tries to worm his way into the favour of the royal family, claiming that he knows how to break the curse. He hopes to be helped by the magic wand which he´s cunningly stolen from the magic beings, and thanks to it suddenly wields great power. But young fisherman Ludvik turns up in the kingdom, and there´s hope that he will be the one to break the curse, save the kingdom and win the hand of Princess Lidunka.
