A NEWBIE PRINCE scales the tower of PRINCESS GWENDOLYN. He arrives through the window, only to be met by Princess Gwendolyn's sleepy disposition. She couldn't care less as he recites the standard "I've come to rescue you" lines. As the back-and-forth continues, the Newbie Prince cowers in fear when her dragon, NICKERBACHER, appears. Afraid simply because of the dragon's huge, beastly presence, the Newbie Prince flees.

Nickerbacher and Princess Gwendolyn remark upon their long time together. The princess acknowledges Nickerbacher's dream of being a comedian on The Late Knight Show. However, Nickerbacher dismisses the idea, as he must live in the tower for the rest of his days. However, the princess enjoys the place and has no desire to be in a castle and rule the kingdom.

Another prince named PRINCE HAPPENSTANCE arrives. He logically takes the stairs up the tower and is unafraid of Nickerbacher. And since Nickerbacher does not like to be violent, the prince quickly thwarts him and safely throws Princess Gwendolyn out of the castle. Princess Gwendolyn manages to escape his grasp and knocks him out. She ties him to his horse and sends him on his way. 

PAPA DRAGON shows up and chastises Nickerbacher for not standing up for himself. He fears Nickerbacher's safety and refuses to let him live in the world because he doesn't want him to end up like his deceased brother, GAVIN.

Prince Happenstance attempts to retake Princess Gwendolyn. This time, Nickerbacher uses intimidation to stop the prince. However, Princess Gwendolyn comes up with the idea of allowing Prince Happenstance to take her to La La Land. In effect, Nickerbacher will have to follow after her to the city to "rescue" her, where he can pursue his comedic dreams and attempt to get on The Late Knight Show. All three agree to the plan and set off on the adventure.

WITCH HAZEL takes Prince Happenstance and drags him through the forest. Princess Gwendolyn and Nickerbacher get help from a pair of nosy leprechauns named TRAVIS and DARBY. They introduce them to their village, where they meet the elder ARGYLE, who discloses the witch's location. 

They rescue the prince from the witch and go to La La Land. Nickerbacher auditions for The Late Knight Show but is denied outright by JOHNNY KINGSTON himself, who says there is no way he would allow fairytale creatures on his show. This assertion hurts Nickerbacher, but Argyle shows up and offers hope by giving Nickerbacher a job performing comedy at the Leprechaun Theater.

Prince Happenstance turned in his report on saving Princess Gwendolyn, and the other princes congratulated him. 

Nickerbacher learns how to tell better jokes with the help of Argyle, who tells him to embrace his truth to write the most effective comedy. Nickerbacher opens up about Gavin, who, despite trying to live peacefully among humans in the city, was still distrusted; prejudice ultimately led to his persecution. It was then that he and Princess Gwendolyn left for the tower. 

Nickerbacher gets funnier and attracts widespread attention from all audiences, even humans. Meanwhile, the princes at the guild do not like Nickerbacher's growing presence and frame him for a crime, which gets him kicked out of the city. He goes to live with his parents.

Princess Gwendolyn threatens Johnny Kingston to let Nickerbacher on the show and let him have an entire episode, or else she will reveal that he's been stealing jokes from fairytale creatures. The princes confess to framing Nickerbacher when many of them recall how Nickerbacher spared their lives and helped them. 

Nickerbacher is excellent on The Late Knight Show and finally causes Papa Dragon to laugh. Soon afterward, Nickerbacher becomes more popular and lands his own show, adored by all.
