action
Every morning a king notices that his daughters have shoes that are shattered. However, the whole room is monitored and locked. Once a soldier comes along who has stolen an apple. The king wants to get him off his sentence if he finds out what his daughters do every night. In two nights the soldier sees nothing, but on the third night he comes into the dance hall , in which the princesses always hang out with their princes. He finds out the secret, but doesn't tell because of his promise. He had to make the promise because his cloak, with which he could make himself invisible, had gone unnoticed and was therefore seen by the princesses and princes. But it turns out differently: the princesses tell the king the truth. The soldier marries the youngest princess, who was the only one who had no husband up to that point.
