This woman was visited by the beautiful Advisor Minard Moretto to order a special mask of harlequin Talio for the Count di Gladisy for his engagement to Princess Antonella. There is sympathy between Daisy and Advisor Moretto. By mistake one worker Ramgotha mask of the harlequin ends up in the hands of the Count de Trimasy. The mask was deliberately replaced by two evil masks, Quamberdy and the clown John, so to be the engagement. The Count de Trimasy mistakenly took the package and went to his home in another part of the state. Daisy is panicked, reports for this omission Advisor Moretto, and then with the two of them they embark on a search for the mask of the harlequin Talio.  Somehow they manage to reach the other end of the state, but the owner of that mask, the Count de Triamsy, doesn't just want to return it to its rightful owners. He asks Daisy to keep him company for three days to seduce her, takes her for a walk, to the peacock garden, to the ball, and asks that she give him a treadmill of 105 kisses. Advisor Moretto, who likes Daisy a lot, shows signs of jealousy. At the zoo, however, they manage to take the Talio mask and flee Trimasy and return just before the big proposal ball that is being talked about everywhere. Otherwise, all the masks in the store are enchanted and can fly, talk and sing mostly in the evening when there are no people in the store.

And at the very end the Count di Gledisy proposes Princess Antonella and they become the new rulers in that kingdom, and the Advisor Moretto and the beautiful Daisy show love for each other.

Two evil masks clown John and Quamberdy end up in Trimasy in the hands of the evil Count de Trimasy.

SCENE NUMBER 1:

(Gossip Letra arrives at the last minute)

(You can see the hat mask running down the table, then towards the closet in the ,,Residence of the masks,, store. A short interruption of that scene, you can see the street, a carriage passing by. Then again we see that mask holding a skirt and running down the shelf. Then again we see the street, a depiction of what is happening on the street, and the mask shops where the inscription Residence of the masks is written in capital letters above, and below that in small letters - the Owner - Master Ricardo.

Then again, a brief overview of the race of that mask of Letra, which stops on the shelf where the masks for horror movies are. Letra mask on her fingers, as if she's scared, she walks past them. She puts on her big hat, walks past the sleeping horror masks. The Letra mask breathes a sigh of relief as it passes by them, coming to another part where the black and white masks are. This is where the Letra mask takes its position. There is a mask with a fan called Nakely Mask, they call her Lady with a fan, she looks at her secretly and says quietly)

NAKELY:

Someone needs to inform Master Ricardo that this Letra mask is an eternal fugitive!

(again street view and you see the saleswoman Daisy coming to the door of that store. She pushes the key into the lock, the door opens and the saleswoman Daisy enters)

DAISY:

(She smiles happily)

Good morning, my dear masks!

(She goes inside, closes the door, puts her bag on the table. Then she turns, puts her hands on her hips and looks at the shelves with masks. There are a lot of beautiful masks with feathers, pearls in this store ... While Daisy looks around the store, Letra mask is watching her from that shelf above)

SCENE 2:

LETTER FROM KING STEPHEN OF LATOROMEA

(In the scene, we first see a horseman galloping towards a beautiful castle in the distance. He walks through paths, forests, some country houses. When a horseman passes by a village house, we see two women talking)

WOMAN 1:

Is this the messenger from Princess Antonella's castle?

WOMAN 2:

I think it is.

WOMAN 1:

Is it true that the Count di Gledisy wants to marry this princess?

WOMAN 2:

I think that's how it's talked about.

(A horseman-messenger approaches the castle, passes by the guard and the large gate. He greeted the guard standing there with his hand. A few minutes later this horseman is in the large reception hall where the Count di Gladysy and his parents - mom and dad. Parents sitting and the count standing. The parents are watching this welcome. The horseman is holding a letter in his hand. Counselor Moretto is sitting on the side and watching all this)

MARQUISE DI GLEDISY:

Are you bringing us a message?

(she looks at the newcomer a little suspiciously. The horseman bows politely)

HORSEMAN:

I am honored to see you, Marquise di Gladisy

(She looked at her)

MARQUISE DI GLEDISY:

What exactly is it about? You are, I see from your shield, from the castle of Princess Antonella of Latoromea?

(the horseman smiles and nods)

HORSEMAN:

Yes, yes! Letter - answer, Count di Gledisy asked one question

(When the horseman says this, then everyone looks at the Count di Gladysy. The Count points with his hand, as if approving of the horseman)

COUNT OF GLEDISY:

Read us that letter.

(The horseman spreads the letter and begins to read)

HORSEMAN:

Dear Count di Gledisy, Marquis di Gledisy, Marquise di Gledisy ... For a long time in the kingdom of Latoremea there is a rule of legend (while he reads it, scenes are shown briefly) which has existed since the great gathering of princes on the campfire. On that occasion, a cup was created from the fire, which is given to a man who marries the eldest daughter of the king of Latoromea, and in this case it is my daughter - Princess Antonella. However, in order for that cup to belong to a prince, even then, at that large gathering of princes around the campfire, glasses were created next to the cup. These glasses reveal good and evil in the suitor in question. The Count di Gledisy would like Princess Antonella's hand. He has to go through a legendary procedure where the princess will put on her glasses and see
