A mischievous and silly Jester introduces the audience to a young tailor who has been looked down on his entire life because he is small

This meek village tailor is bullied by his boss, smothered by his mother, and harassed by his customers

He does, however, dream of fighting dragons

And during one vivid fantasy he manages to kill seven flies in one blow

This achievement is half-heard and half-understood and soon the rumours spreading around the village get exaggerated until the King hears of a tailor who can kill seven Giants in one blow!

The tailor is then brought before the King and his beautiful stepdaughter

Now the tailor must find his own true courage

With the help of the Princess and the Jester he battles a rampaging unicorn, two troublesome giants, and a fierce dragon
