The kingdom of Popo is in turmoil as young Prince Leonce is suddenly expected to marry and become king.

Meanwhile, Princess Lena from the kingdom of Pipi is equally dismayed to learn that she is to marry the unknown Leonce and also flees. However, fate brings the two royal children together on their secret journeys. Unbeknownst to them, their encounter may lead to an unexpected happy ending. This delightful play explores themes of love, freedom, and the absurdities of royal duty, capturing the essence of youthful rebellion and the quest for personal happiness.
