The little mermaid saves a prince from drowning and falls in love with him. But to marry him, she must become human – and she's willing to make many sacrifices. The sea witch gives her two human legs in exchange for her fishtail. As the price for this transformation, however, the little mermaid must give up her voice. From then on, she can no longer speak, and her unfamiliar legs and feet hurt terribly. When the prince first sees the now-human mermaid, he is captivated and takes her in. But he doesn't recognize his former rescuer. If the prince marries someone else, the mermaid faces certain death…
