Molly in Springtime

While the spring carnival is in full swing in the capital of Balthazar's kingdom, the "bloated belly" disease is spreading. Princess Molly who has her doubts about the true intentions of Bonifacio the storyteller, enlists the help of her friend Léon the bear. The young couple investigate and outwit the Machiavellic plans of the would-be doctor. The key to this whole affair is perhaps simply in the fields: a healing flower...
