In a kingdom where a mechanical bird replaces a real nightingale, the emperor's life hangs in the balance. As he faces death, the faithful nightingale returns, offering hope where none remains. Can the genuine song of the nightingale succeed where artificial beauty failed?
Though the emperor banishes the nightingale in preference for a jeweled mechanical imitation, the little bird remains faithful and returns years later when the emperor is near death and no one else can help him.
