The story

As described in a film magazine, Alexander Pike, longing for new fields to conquer and willing to give a federal grand jury some time to forget him, takes a trip to Morovenia, where the ruling governor is desperate because Kalora, his oldest daughter, refuses to get fat enough to conform to the Turkish ideal of beauty and so be safely married off. The law forbids her younger and fatter sister to marry first. Popova, the princess's tutor, has a secret grudge against the governor and encourages the Slim Princess privately to devour pickles and so preserve her slim outlines.
