Synopsis
A knight-errant named Lancelot journeys through a town where h walks into an empty though welcoming house to get some rest. He befriends a household cat that prefers to keep mum and snuggly warm. Sensing danger, Lancelot persists in question until the sphinx tells him the sad story of his beloved masters - the archivist Charlemagne and his daughter Elsa. It will be soon four hundred years since their town was taken over by a Dragon. The Dragon has imposed many taxes on his subjects. Every year he picks up a girl to wed. And the town gives her away "without a meow". He takes her to his cave where she dies in horror and disgust. This time, the Dragon has chosen Elsa.
