While catching tadpoles, Davey finds a blue-eyed talking frog who is a princess under a spell. Princess Amelia needs a kiss to break the spell, but Davey's more interested in showing off his exciting find to his friends. Davey's struggle with his conscience is surprisingly complex, and the story's humor is enhanced by amusing pencil drawings.
