Feeling sad, she decides to volunteer at a local carnival, where she notices a pony named Echo. He's bright and vivacious but also gets mistreated by the money-hungry carnival owners. The princess befriends the animal and teaches him how to jump, and for the first time in her new country she feels happy. Unfortunately, the carnival owner (Theodore, played by Bill Oberst Jr.) is the leader of the criminal gang. The whole time that the Princess has been in America, he and his henchmen have been trying to figure out which student at the school is their intended target. When he realizes that the pony's new caretaker is the princess, he can barely contain his evil glee.
The villains try their hardest to execute their plot, and the princess is forced to depend on her wits to escape their clutches. With no royal servants to depend upon, she realizes the value of being true to one's self. Her best friend, the pony, keeps her spirits up throughout it all.
