AS THE GUARDS AND THE WARDEN OF THE PRISON ARE PUT TO SLEEP WITH TROLL DUST, KING RELISH OF THE TROLLS, RULER OF THE 3RD KINGDOM ,IS USING HIS MAGIC SHOES, WHICH RENDER THE WEARER INVISIBLE, TO SNEAK ATTACK THE PRISON. HIS CHILDREN HAVE BEEN IMPRISONED FOR MINOR CRIMES AND HE IS GOING TO RESCUE THEM.HE UNLOCKS THEIR CELL AND SETS THEM FREE. AS THEY ARE ABOUT TO LEAVE , HE HEARS A VOICE IN HIS HEAD, A COMPELLING VOICE. IT COMMANDS HIM TO COME. HE FOLLOWS THE VOICE TO THE MAXIMUM SECURITY WARD OF THE PRISON, WHERE NO ONE IS ALLOWED BECAUSE THE MOST DANGEROUS OF DANGEROUS CRIMINALS IS HOUSED THERE. RELISH IS COMPELLED TO UNLOCK THE CELL DOOR BEACAUSE THE VOICE HAS TEMPTED HIM WITH POWER. AFTER HE DOES, HE SEES AHUMAN WOMAN AND A DOG SITTING PATIENTLY INSIDE. LITTLE DOES HE KNOW ITS THE EVIL QUEEN. SHE HAS MADE A BARGAIN WITH THE TROLL KING FOR HER FREEDOM- HE WILL RULE HALF OF THE 4TH KINGDOM WHEN SHE DOES AWAY WITH WENDELL, THE ONLY PERSON IN HER WAY, AND IS CROWNED QUEEN. THE QUEEN'S ONLY COMPANION, HER LOYAL DOG, IS A PART OF HER DEVIOUS PLAN.
PRINCE WENDELL, ON HIS WAY TO THE 4TH KINGDOM TO ACCEPT A CORONATION CHAIR FROM HIS LOYAL SUBJECTS, HAS TO MAKE A STOP AT THE PRISON TO DENY HIS STEPMOTHER'S REQUEST FOR PAROLE. A FORMALITY REALLY. HE ARRIVES AT THE PRISON AND NO ONE IS THERE TO WELCOME HIM. HE FINDS THIS SUSPICIOUS AND GOES INSIDE WITH HIS MANSERVANT TO INVESTIGATE. LITTLE DOES HE KNOW THAT HE IS IN FOR THE ADVENTURE OF HIS LIFE, AND THAT HE IS BEING LURED INTO A TRAP. ONCE AT THE PRISON, UNPROTECTED, THE QUEEN AND RELISH REAPPEAR, HAVING USED THE MAGIC SHOES TO RENDER THEM INVISIBLE. HIS CHILDREN, BLABBERWART, BLUEBELL AND BURLY ALSO MAKE THEIR PRESENCE KNOWN, AS THEY WERE HIDING IN A ROOM VERY NEAR TO THE QUEEN'S CELL. THE QUEEN MAKES HER SALUTTIONS TO THE PRINCE AND FILLS HIM IN ON HER PLAN. HE TELLS HER THAT SHE IS MAD AND WON'T GET AWAY WITH HER EVIL SCHEME.. THE QUEEN, A VERY INTELLIGENT BUT EXTREMELY EVIL WOMAN, IS BENT ON REVENGE AGAINST THE HOUSE OF WHITE AND WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET WHAT SHE WANTS. THE QUEEN, WHO POSSESSES CONSIDERABLE MAGICAL POWERS SHE LEARNED FROM SNOW WHITE'S STEPMOTHER AFTER SHE WAS EXILED, CASTS A SPELL ON WENDELL AND THE DOG, FORCING THEM TO TRADE PLACES. WEDELL IS NOW A DOG WITH A HUMAN INTELLIGENCE, AND THE DOG IS NOW WENDELL, PHYSICALLY IDENTICAL TO THE PRINCE.
WENDELL, AS THE DOG, REALIZES THE ONLY WAY TO FOIL THE QUEEN'S PLANS IS TO ESCAPE, THINKING THAT HER PLAN CANNOT EXIST WITHOUT HAVING BOTH PARTS OF HIM UNDER HER THUMB. SO HE DOES, RUNNING THROUGHOUT THE PRISON, EVENTUALLY TO THE BASEMENT, WITH THE TROLL KING'S CHILDREN IN HOT PURSUIT, FOR THE QUEEN THOUGHT THAT TO SIMPLY RECAPTURE A DOG WOULD BE AN EASY TASK. AS THE DOG IS FLEEING, HE ACCIDENTLY HITS A OLD MIRROR AND MAGICALLY IT OPENS A PORTAL TO MODERN DAY CENTRAL PARK!
IT TAKES HIM ABOUT TWO SECONDS TO DECIDE TO FLEE INTO THAT PORTAL, JUMPING HEAD FIRST INTO AN ADVENTURE BEYOND TIME AND SPACE.
IN MODERN DAY NEW YORK CITY, A MAN AND HIS DAUGHTER ARE TRYING TO EKE OUT A LIVING. HIS WIFE HAD LEFT YEARS BEFORE WHEN THE CHILD WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD AND HAS NOT BEEN SEEN SINCE. THE MAN, TONY LEWIS, WORKS AS A BUILDING SUPERINTEDANT/JANITOR.. HE AND HIS DAUGHTER VIRGINIA GET TO STAY IN THE APARTMENT NEAR CENTRAL PARK FOR MODEST RENT BECAUSE HE WORKS THERE. VIRGINIA HOLDS A WAITRESSING JOB AND TONY HAS THE BOSS FROM HELL, MR MURRAY, WHO OWNS THE BUILDING. VIRGINIA IS LATE FOR WORK AND IS EMBARRASSED AND ANGRY AT HER FATHER , WHOM SHE BLAMES FOR HER MOTHER LEAVING AND FOR HIS FAILURES AS A FATHER AND HIS WEAKNESS TOWARDS LIFE. SHE IS 23 YEARS OLD AND. SHE TAKES THE SAME WAY TO WORK EVERY DAY-THROUGH THE PARK AND IT IS THERE THAT SHE BEGINS THE ADVENTURE OF HER LIFE.
AS SHE IS RIDING ON THE PATH, NOT PARTICULARILY LOOKING ANYWHERE, DAYDREMING REALLY, SHE SUDDENLY NOTICES A DOG IN HER PATHWAY, SVERVES BUT HITS HIM WITH HER BIKE. SHE TUMBLES FROM THE BIKE ANDIS KNOCKED OUT FOR A FEW MINUTES. SHE COMES TO, CHECKS THE DOG WHO IS OKAY AND PICKS UP HER BIKE WITH THE BENT WHEEL. SHE CURSES TO HERSELF, KNOWING SHE'S LATE FOR WORK. AS SHE WALKS AWAY, THE DOG BEGINS TO FOLLOW HER AND SHE TELLS HIM TO SHOO BUT HE WON'T. SHE RELUCTANTLY ALLOWS HIM TO GO WITH HER AND BECAUSE HE HAS NO COLLAR, NAMES HIM PRINCE. BUT SHE TELLS HIM HE CAN ONLY GO WITH HER FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE CASTLE, THE QUEEN IS ANGRY. THE DOG AND THE TROLLS HAVE BEEN GONE TOO LONG AND SHE WONDERS WHY SHE TRUSTED THE IDIOT TROLLS TO DO SUCH AN IMPORTANT JOB. AS SHE WANDERS AROUND THE PRISON, SHE SEES SOME OF ITS OTHER RESIDENTS AND STOPS IN FRONT OF ONE PARTICULAR CELL. INSIDE IS WOLF, DESCENDANT OF LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD, WHO HAD BEEN PUT INTO PRISON FOLLOWING HIS FEEDING FRENZY AT LITTLE LAMB VILLAGE. HE IS STRONG ANG HANDSOME, HIS ONLY BETRAYING WOLF CHARACTERISTIC BEING HIS BUSHY TAIL. HE IS MOSTLY HUMAN. THE QUEEN KNOWS THAT HE WILL DO THE JOB OF CAPTURING THE DOG SO HE MAKES HIM A DEAL OF COMMANDER IN HER
FUTURE ARMY FOR HIS SERVICES. HE ACCEPTS AND BECOMES HER BOUNTY HUNTER OF SORTS. SHE LETS HIM OUT OF HIS CELL AND HE PROCEEDS TO THE BASEMENT. HE SEES THE MAGIC MIRROR, WHICH IS STILL ACTIVATED, AND CENTRAL PARK, NEW YORK, THROUGH THE OTHER SIDE. HE JUMPS THROUGH THE PORTAL.
THE TROLLS APPEAR ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MIRROR AND ARE AMAZED AT WHAT THEY SEE. THEY KNOW THEY AREN'T IN THE NINE KINGDOMS ANYMORE. THEY DECIDE TO CLAIM THIS NEW WORLD FOR TROLLS EVERYWHERE! THEY CHRISTEN IT THE 10TH KINGDOM AND GO OFF TO EXPLORE THEIR NEW DOMAIN AND TO LOOK FOR THE DOG. AS THEY ARE LOOKING, THEY SEE A WALLET ON THE GROUND AND THEY SMELL THE SCENT OF THE DOG. THEY SEE THAT THE WALLET BELONGS TO A VIRGINIA LEWIS. THEY TAKE THE WALLET AND GO OFF IN SEARCH OF THE GIRL AND THE DOG.
VIRGINIA TAKES THE DOG TO WORK, A RESTAURANT CALLED GRILL ON THE GREEN.. SHE IS LATE AND NOT FEELING VERY WELL,.BUT SHE NEEDS THE MONEY. SHE LOCKS THE DOG UP IN A STORAGE ROOM AND GOES TO THE RESTAURANT FLOOR TO BEGIN HER SHIFT. HER FRIEND AND FELLOW WAITRESS CANDY IS THERE AND SHE WAS WORRIED ABOUT HER. VIRGINIA TELLS HER THE STORY. SHE THEN GOES TO THE MAIN AREA AND SHE HEARS THE DOG BARKING AS SHE IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A CUSTOMER'S ORDER . SHE EXCUSES HERSELF TO CHECK ON HIM. INSIDE SHE SEES THAT HE HAS BROKEN OPEN A SACK OF FLOUR AND HAS SPELLED OUT "DANGER" ON THE FLOOR WITH HIS PAW. SHE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZED AND A LITTLE FRIGHTENED. SHE ASKS HIM QUESTIONS AND THE DOG RESPONDS LIKE A HUMAN WOULD. REALIZING THAT SHE HAS NO ORDINARY DOG, SHE BEGINS TO THINK SHE IS IN REAL DANGER. THE DOG IS TRYING TO TELL HER SOMETHING, AND PULLING ON HER SLEEVE, LIKE HE WANTS TO LEAVE. VIRGINIA DECIDES TO TAKE HIS ADVICE, AND THEY LEAVE THE RESTAURANT TO GO BACK TO HER APARTMENT.
A NEW CUSTOMER HAS SEATED HIMSELF IN THE RESTAURANT. IT'S WOLF, WHO HAS FOLLOWED VIRGINIA, WHOSE SMELL IS LIKE FINE PERFUME TO HIM, AND THE DOG'S SCENT FROM CENTRAL PARK. CANDY IS HIS WAITRESS AND HE IS EXHIBITING VERY STRANGE BEHAVIOR.. HE ORDERS LAMB CHOPS AND IS PRACTICALLY DROOLING AT THE TABLE. HE ASKS ABOUT HIS "LOST" DOG AND CANDY SAYS THAT HE IS IN THE BACK AS WELL AS THE PERSON WHO FOUND HIM. HE FOLLOWS HER TO THE BACK OF THE RESTAURANT. SHE UNLOCKS THE STORAGE ROOM DOOR TO CHECK ON THE DOG AND WOLF SEES THAT THE DOG HAS GONE AND THAT HE HAS SPELLED " DANGER" ON THE FLOOR.
WOLF CURSES TO HIMSELF AND REALIZES HE HAS TO COAX THE GIRL TO TELL HIM WHERE SHE HAS GONE. HE SO MUCH WANTS TO EAT HER, BUT NEEDS INFORMATION.
