00:00 Once there was an innocent and not very imposing young man whose job it was to keep watch over the geese.
00:08 His name was Matt.
00:11 Matt the Gooseboy.
00:13 Now Matt's story is one that starts with a monstrous injustice.
00:18 One committed by the ruler of the land, the evil Lord Blackheart.
00:23 He tried to steal your excellency's goose, sir.
00:26 That's a lie! The goose is mine, sir!
00:29 Get the bird away from him and tell the boy to remove himself from my sight.
00:35 I swear by this hand three times in all that you will pay for this.
00:41 Lord Blackheart and his men had a hearty laugh that day.
00:55 But as the years passed, Matt grew older and stronger and ever more determined to keep his promise.
01:02 And one day the king received a very unusual visitor.
01:06 Through a series of schemes and intrigues, Lord Blackheart soon found himself alone with the stranger and in a most compromising position.
01:15 Then it turned out that this stranger wasn't a stranger at all.
01:21 I'm not a master. I'm not even Italian.
01:24 Remember me, Matt the Gooseboy?
01:28 The humiliation of his lordship was total.
01:35 And thereafter the ruler lived in fear of Matt the Gooseboy who had promised to return again.
01:41 To protect himself, Lord Blackheart ordered that the highest walls be built to keep Matt out.
01:50 But every conceivable precaution was taken.
01:54 A huge army stood at the ready.
01:58 And everywhere his soldiers searched for the impudent young rebel, Matt the Gooseboy.
02:05 All to protect one man.
02:07 For Lord Blackheart, the fear of the Gooseboy was becoming something more than an obsession.
02:13 He forced his guards to suspect every stranger that visited the castle.
02:18 They had to doubt every witch that dropped by to cast a spell.
02:22 Even the circus bear was questioned.
02:27 And of course, every goose in the land was distrusted.
02:31 No one was above suspicion that they might be Matt the Gooseboy.
02:35 So join Matt in a rollicking tale about how one person can stand up to cruelty and injustice.
02:41 Everyone will enjoy the antics of this clever crusader as he leads Lord Blackheart and his men on a wild goose chase of hilarious action.
02:49 It's a terrific story that teaches a wonderful moral lesson that kids everywhere will appreciate.
02:55 The fantastic story of Matt the Gooseboy.
