A pilot is forced to crash land in the Sahara Desert, and there he meets a child who calls himself the Little Prince. The two become friends and, as the pilot fixes his plane, the child entertains him with stories of why he had to leave his planet and all the curious characters he has met on his interplanetary journey to the Earth.
