Seven in One Fell Swoop

Das tapfere Schneiderlein

Tailor Simon from Romadia catches the attention of the dragon princess Helena when he repairs her court poet Kryšpín's torn trousers by cutting them. He becomes a hero when he kills seven flies with one swing. Armed with the reputation of a warrior, he sets out into the world to seek his fortune. In neighboring Drabia, he competes with a giant in stone crushing and high-jumping. He defeats the giant with his cleverness. In a nearby town, he mocks a tax collector and finally decides to win the princess that King Rudolf promised to the one who can dry her tears. And clever Simon does not hesitate.
