A humble, underestimated youngest son shares his meager food with a mysterious old man and is rewarded with a goose whose feathers are pure gold. As he travels, villagers who try to pluck the bird become magically stuck together, forming an absurd procession that finally makes a solemn princess laugh. The king sets a series of impossible challenges to prevent the match, but the boy finds extraordinary companions whose prodigious appetites and thirsts solve each task, turning simple kindness and uncanny luck into an unexpected rise in fortune.
