An exquisite mandarin duck is taken by a greedy tyrant
who wants nothing else but to show-off with the bird. The poor and lonely
duck longs for his mate. One of the lord's servants feels sorry for the
duck and lets it go free. Happily, the mandarin duck flies home to her
mate and tells him the entire story. Back at the palace, the generous maid
has been sentenced to death. The birds want to help her, but how what can
ducks do against a powerful lord?
