A fairy tale about a little boy and a kind-hearted witch nicknamed Kitty Mama, a princess who needs to be saved, and a wise puppeteer who knows what true love is. The shadow of a big dragon hovers over the royal castle, Princess Caroline is trying on a mourning dress, while a couple of invited princes are wining and dining in the courtyard, none of them ready to confront the dragon. In the end, only the puppeteer Vítek, who loves Caroline, sets out to fight it. When the worst comes to the worst, the witch Kitty Mama unexpectedly comes to his aid. The dragon is overpowered, but the Princess must not learn who is her rescuer – because, as Kitty Mama points out, good deeds are not done because of the prospect of reward. And so Caroline gets engaged to Prince Vladimir, and Kitty Mama returns from the fairy tale to her home in Prague´s Lesser Town. Which is where ten-year-old Jirka lives, too. He loves his dog Dodo, who is however seriously ill, and Jirka worries about it a lot. Puppeteer Vítek is sad, too, and Caroline is not happy either. Kitty Mama has no choice but to return to the fairy tale and try to sort things out. And she takes Jirka with her.
