One morning, he and his siblings assault a passing old beggar woman, but the woodcutter intervenes.
The woman, ushered inside for safety, reveals that she was beset by muggers seven years earlier, and she hid her newborn, the Star Prince, to protect him.
Somewhere, in a nearby castle, a fairy godmother tells a beautiful young princess that she will marry a prince who fell from a star.
A wicked dwarf takes the Prince to a cave in hopes of keeping him away from the Princess, with the help of his mother, the Witch.
The dwarf asks the King for the Princess' hand in marriage, claiming to be the Star Prince.
The Prince receives the note that tells him that if he touches a magic rock in the cave, he will be free.
Back in the cave, the Prince is forced by the Witch to fetch a bag of gold in the forest.
The fairy godmother bestows gorgeously tailored outfits, and explains that the man whom the Prince gave the gold to was, in fact, his father.
