Synopsis:
The hero has gone missing - or, at least, the King, and Old King Cole ought to be some sort of hero. Anyway, he's done a runner, and since then, everything at the court has turned sour. The princess has turned into a talking encyclopaedia and the Queen can barely speak. A doctor proposes a remedy - the Queen needs to laugh, but nobody seems to be able to make her so much as smile, least of all Gooseberry, the jester. Fairy Crackers sends Gooseberry on a mission - to bring back the world's funniest joke! But even if he finds it, will the Queen regain her sense of humour?
