Disquised as a gardener, he manages to do so. Then they flee together before the rage of the advisers to his kingdom. Their way is full of wild adventures, which bring them closer together. Krasomila has no idea that the gardener she's running away with is a king. She finds out in the grand finale. She forgives Miroslav denying his true origin and marries him. The advisers are driven out and love triumphs.

A fairy tale about how those who have a heart and are not stingy will not fail. The most popular hero of Czech fairy tales, besides the brave prince and the beautiful princess, is undoubtedly Honza, who is often not stupid at all, but on the contrary brave, clever, handsome and cheerful.
