A king wakes up one morning, stretches, and farts-his wife, who was about to remind him to wish the Prime Minister a happy birthday at their meeting that morning, is so annoyed with him that she forgets.

This very small and smelly act-much like the butterfly flapping its wings in a forest eventually leading to a hurricane on the other side of the world-sets off a chain of events that build and build into an all-out national crisis. It’s up to the young prince and a girl who works at the palace to restore order and save the day.
