[edit] Characters
The main characters are as follows:
King Hugo III King Hugo III is the king of the land of the potatoes. He is easily upset and hates the local dragon or anyone standing in his way or stopping things from going his way. He has been known to do almost anything to rid his kingdom of dragons.
Knights In every episode a new knight appears and swears to kill or capture the dragon or make it tame in some way, generally, in return for the hand of Melodine the Princess. They usually end up fighting against Hugo or being chased out of the kingdom.
Melodine Melodine, the princess, loves the dragon, and if anything happens to it her love with Riri will end, so she thwarts plans to kill the dragon. Almost all knights offer to marry her, at which she either falls into a trance of joy or acts disgusted. The princess wears a pink outfit and a crown that is smoother than the kings.
Riri Riri is the court jester, who loves Melodine and thwarts plans to kill the dragon. He is the hero of the show.
Juju Juju is a child living in the castle who helps Riri, but is easily upset and moody.
Dragon The dragon lives peacefully in the kingdom, but because he has a hatred of crowns finds himself uncontrollably willing to flame breathe Hugo into a pile of living ashes every time they meet.
[edit] Plot
The show generally begins with a new knight coming in to defeat the dragon, and after an amusing "battle" leaves either scared, running or happy.
