A prince, bored with his perfect life, impulsively decides to marry an unwilling, ugly, un-marriageable girl from a much lower social class. Once in the castle, her persistent silence prompts the Royal family to vent their insecurities onto her. Eventually growing paranoid, they plot to, and succeed in, killing her off; their perfect lives once again restored to a safe state of boredom.
