A Brief Synopsis of the Operetta A certain King is seeking a wife who will bring him great wealth. He overhears a pcddlar bragging that his daughter can spin straw into gold. Though angry at first, he decides to have her prove the claim and to marry him or be put to death. Rumplestiltskin appears and agrees to spin the gold only if she will promise him her first born child. After a lapse of ten years the story continues: the queen she is perfectly happy which allows Rumplestiltskin 0 claim their daughter. He does, however, agree to break the bargain if they can guess his name. The old i ljpeddlar returns with the needed in- formation. The dwarf is surprised and embarrassed as the story has a happy ending.
