A poor lass agrees to marry an enchanted prince, who appears as a bear during the day but in his own shape at night. But she disobeys his orders to never look at him and so banishes him to a castle where he must marry a long-nosed troll. The young girl and her prince find a way to break the spell and escape to their own land, at last.
