A fairy-tale it is, but Johnny is a strange hero lying on top of the warm stove all day. The magic grandpa has to come right inside the kitchen to find him and the dragon he is supposed to kill, in order to save the princess, has to be brought in by servants. The princess succeeds in getting him off the stove, but Johnny falls aleep on the throne. The story based on Josef Lada's fairy-tale book illustrated by the author appeals to children and adults.
