A king and queen with three daughters possess hearts of glass. The eldest cracks her heart watching a bee, the second cracks her heart by hot coffee yet survives, and the youngest grows into a clever beauty. A page who carries her train hovers between love and vocation, then pursues a glazier path to become foreman, starting from humble tasks.
A glazier rises from foreman to marry a princess. After years of learning flying tasks, he learns glass work, is chosen by the king to wed the princess. The king requires noble birth and courtly demeanor, which the glazier meets, and the couple live happily without incident.
