Synopsis

Perfection is so hard to find – especially if you are a prince and your mother decides you must marry the perfect princess. The queen has decided the only way to be sure she has found a true princess in every way is to administer the Perfect Princess Test. So far, no one has passed it. It is a dark and stormy night when a possible contender arrives - unannounced - who CLAIMS to be a princess. Is she who she says she is, or is she really the niece of the Queen’s Butler who is secretly planning to take over the kingdom himself? Hmmm…Let the TESTS begin.
