"CARTOON. PRINCESS IS KIDNAPPED & LITTLE BOY ON HIS WOODEN HORSE IS OFF TO THE RESCUE. THE WICKED BLACK KNIGHT IS BLASTED FROM HIS CASTLE, THE PRINCESS IS SAVED, & AS A REWARD, THE LITTLE BOY WINS A PRINCESS PLUS A CHEVROLET." Animation of "love bug" who makes people (animated creatures) fall in love. Storyline: princess gets captured by bad knight King and good knight try to rescue her. Chevrolet's new car saves the day. The hero gets the princess and the new Chevy as a reward.
"Listen all you people, you better beware. Love's an epidemic and it's in the air. It's the thing to get you even though you're very smart. So take some good advice, go out and vaccinate your heart. The love bug will bite you if you don't watch out." These words set to a catchy jingle begin this brightly colored animation of adorable animals and an innocent budding romance between a young princess and a little knight boy who totes along with him a toy horse with wooden wheels. All of the gripping cuteness leads the viewer to the unexpected moment when Chevrolet helps the prince to save the princess, proving that it's not necessary in life to be as rich as a lazy king -- but love may require a Chevrolet.
