Description

Ming Da, a nine-year-old emperor of China, is taken advantage of by his three advisors who steal his rice, gold, and precious stones. To outsmart them, Ming Da enlists his tailors to create 'magical' clothes that only honest people can see in their true splendor, while dishonest people see burlap sacks. The young emperor wears a burlap sack, and his devious advisors fall for the clever ruse.
