A reader of fairy tales, a young princess longs for the day when a prince will save her from a dragon or witch, but when she finally is chased and locked in a tower she decides to take matters into her own hands.
Rumble's Cave Hotel is open but there are no guests, so Rumble allows a designer to give the place a makeover, all the while worrying that he will not like the results.
While Rumble the dragon and his staff argue with the leader of the orchestra Rumble hired about whether the violinist, a snake, can come into the hotel, she slithers in, eats some porridge, and falls asleep in a just-right bed.
