In order to appease the dragon, the villagers use a ritual that sacrificed young maidens and they sing an ancient song to summon the dragon. The dragon abducts one of the maidens, but one brave knight traveled to an island where the dragon lived to rescue his love, but the time he got there, it was to late. The knight and dragon fought a fierce battle, but in the end, the knight emerged victorious and the dragon was defeated. The knight freed his people from fear, he became known as the dragon slayer for his reputation for killing the dragon and the dreaded ritual was transformed into a wedding ceremony.
 
Many years later, the young Princess Miroslava ([[Maria Poezzhaeva]]), Mira for short, is betrothed to Igor, who is the dragon slayers grandson. Her father and sister Yaroslava think she is immature because she still likes fairy tales and playing with toys. Mira is placed on a boat deck in her wedding finery to be sent across the water to her future husband, Igor, the same way they used for the ritual to appease the dragon years ago.
