Eager to make her way in the world, hairdresser Joy Miller gets her chance when she's sent to a modern once-upon-a-time land called Slovetzia to tutor the three children of gruff, widowed dictator Boris Pochenko. Joy thinks she's been hired as a beautician, Boris thinks she's been hired as an able science teacher. Though she doesn't know anything about science, her charming, flamboyant manner teaches her student's father a thing or two about loosening up - and falling in love.
