A prince, an ancient legend, and a white tiger... When the circus comes to the village at the foot of the palace, Prince Okan is eager to visit. The stern Emperor refuses and sends Okan back to his strict tutors for his lessons. On his daily walk, the prince runs ahead of his guards to get a look at the circus below. He finds the animals have escaped and the white tiger has made it's way onto the palace wall where Okan now stands, unguarded.
