SummaryThere is a fountain in the courtyard of a royal castle. Far and wide there is no other source and all inhabitants have to fetch water here. The king dislikes that very much. He is most annoyed by the farmer Hans, who appears daily at the well and whistles a funny song. The princess likes the play, she learns it from Hans. That takes the King's anger to extremes. He forbids the farmers to use the well. The princess revokes her father's order and lets the guards march away. Hans rewards them for their deeds with a kiss, but the king arrests them. The farmers gather under the leadership of Hans and free the princess. The King is hiding in prison. The princess moves with Hans and the farmers to the village, the well again donates its water for everyone.
