O


A young prince falls in love with a beautiful woman and promises to marry her. However, when his father becomes gravely ill, the prince is summoned home and, to please his dying father, agrees to marry another princess. Heartbroken, his first love devises a plan.

She gathers eleven other women who resemble her in height and appearance. Disguised as twelve huntsmen, they go to the prince’s court and offer their service. The prince, unaware of their true identities, accepts them as his huntsmen.

The prince's lion, a wise animal, suspects the huntsmen are actually women and warns the prince. The lion devises several tests to prove their true gender, but the clever women pass each one. Eventually, the prince overhears the leader (his former fiancée) speaking and realizes her true identity. Moved by love and her loyalty, he breaks off his engagement to the second princess and marries his original beloved.
