Pressed for time to attend a meeting, the Queen impulsively appoints Sara to rule in her absence, leading the girl into a magical realm that is surprisingly disorderly. Sara quickly discovers that because every fairy has exactly what they want and behaves exactly as they please, the kingdom has descended into a "terrible mess" that none of its carefree inhabitants seem to notice. Her attempts to reform the unruly fairies and impose human-style organization only result in further chaos, ultimately exploring the humorous and difficult balance between absolute freedom and necessary order.
