The premise
Here’s the bit.
Princess Viola keeps sending Prince Benedict away before sundown. When he proposes, she finally explains the spell placed on her in infancy: every night, she becomes fifteen pounds heavier. His grand declarations of devotion give way to awkward questions about exactly where the extra weight goes. The sorceress returns with a way to remove the curse, but the prince is much less enthusiastic about making a small physical sacrifice himself.
