Next, disguised as wealthy ladies, the witch and her daughter visit the market where the Princess sells the shoes made by her beloved husband shoemaker.

In the nick of time the Shoemaker, who recovered from the effects of the potion and succeeded in remembering his identity, interrupts the wedding and he and the Princess fly off together to live happily ever after.

[1] Director Zdeněk Troška made several fairy tale films, often following patterns where a young man ventures from a rural area to find love and defeat corrupt enemies.

[3] For Princess Jasnenka and the Flying Shoemaker, Troška and screenwriter Karel Steigerwald adapted a fairy story by Czech writer and Communist Party member Jan Drda.

[14] Author Peter Harnes wrote that Troška's films all fell short of the work of Jiří Trnka and Jan Švankmajer.
