When seven brave warriors go missing and a beautiful princess is transformed into a dog, the twelve-year-old prince, Balaraju, swears to punish the culprit. His weapons, single-minded courage and an unfailing charm, seem puny against the spells of a powerful magician. All the same, the wise young lad's mission is brilliantly successful and he also finds he can cast a few useful spells of his own. An adaptation of a popular folktale from Andhra Pradesh.
