The Emperor thinks there’s nothing more beautiful than the song of his beloved nightingale. Until he’s given a windup replica! The poor nightingale is left sad and alone and almost forgotten. But when the Emperor falls ill and the mechanical bird can’t cheer him up, will the nightingale save the day?
