Once upon a time on a tropical island, there was a grand
castle with 38 rooms. Living inside were two young princes, a princess and
their pesky butler named OB Markus.
Prince Hector the Eldest is bookish and rational; Prince
Humphrey the Youngest is rebellious; and Princess Harriet is daring and brash.
One night, the children hear a strange ghostly noise coming
from the dungeon and decide to investigate.
