A wondrous cave contains rare treasures, salt, and precious rubies. The miners can take all the salt they need, but they can't take anything from the ruby hall of the cave. Whoever takes a ruby will suffer a curse. The burgomaster's daughter Lena craves a precious gem from the cave. Her reckless act upends the fragile balance of the kingdom and also affects her. Only a good-hearted man can free the cursed Lena; he must return the stolen ruby back to the heart of the cave...
