This is the imaginative tale of a vain Emperor who is hilariously deceived due to his own vanity and dihonesty. The Emperor, who is swindled by two crooks posing as weavers, is fooled because of his desire to be both handsome and wise. In the end, the naked truth is made known by an innocent child, and the Emperor is exposed as the greatest fool of all.
