Plot Summary

Mr. Fuzz shortly after he has opened his eyes for the first time on the light of this world. He is a queer little creature and does not present a very attractive appearance, as he is carried around in the arms of his nurse among the amused friends of his parents. In the next picture, which is sixteen years later, he is bewailing his fate and feeling humiliated at his ugliness, when all at once the good Fairy Queen appears to him and shows him in a vision a beautiful Princess, telling him that if he succeeds in winning her love he will be transformed into a dashing young man. The next scene is in the castle, where we see the beautiful young Princess, who is the laughing stock of the court for her dullness and stupidity. She feels her position keenly when she is jeered at by all the courtiers, in the presence of her mortified parents, the King and Queen. When she is alone, the Fairy Queen appears and tells her that her future husband holds it in his power to make her intelligent and witty. She goes forth in search of him, and as she is passing through the woods, she meets Fuzz, and is horrified at his ugliness, but is willing to try her fate, so promises to marry him one year hence. The engagement has its desired effect, for when she returns to court, she astonishes every one present by her wit and humor, and in place of being the laughing stock, she is now looked upon as a wonder. When the year elapses, however, she forgets her promise, until one day, when passing through the woods, she enters a cave and sees a lot of nymphs preparing a wedding feast. Upon learning that they are preparing for her own wedding, she hastens forth in search of her future husband. She soon meets Mr. Fuzz, and when she tells him that she is ready to become his wife, he is immediately changed into a handsome young fellow, which causes her no end of delight, so they hurry off to the palace and after receiving the patents' blessing, they are married. The last picture shows the wedding feast and the happy young couple in the midst of all their friends, who shower them with congratulations. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis
