Features: In the dark land surrounded by dense forests, Tamino fights a giant monster (snake) and faints. The three maids of the Night Queen come to his aid. While the maids are away, Papageno appears. Upon regaining consciousness, Tamino believes Papageno saved him, but the maids return to reveal the truth. At that moment, the Night Queen appears and asks Tamino to rescue her daughter from Sarastro. After hearing the queen's plea, Tamino resolves to save the princess and accepts the magic flute as a gift, setting off on his journey.
Arriving at Sarastro's castle, Tamino meets Pamina and falls in love at first sight, learning that the demon Sarastro is actually a peace-loving person. Sarastro, with a stern expression, tells Tamino that to marry Pamina, he must endure a trial. The trial is to remain silent no matter what happens. Tamino successfully passes the test. At this point, the Night Queen appears before Pamina, ordering her to kill Sarastro. Pamina is filled with agony because she cannot obey.
In the end, Tamino and Pamina overcome all trials with wisdom and love, earning the Royal Crest. However, the Night Queen, who seeks to dominate the world, triggers a war. Tamino defeats the Night Queen with the sound of the magic flute, bringing peace to the entire world.
