In "Nicko and the Ogre," a river town suffers because a greedy ogre monopolizes the river's fish and disturbs everyone's sleep. A brave young man named Nicko seeks help from a witch and learns the secret to defeating the ogre lies with a mermaid. Disguising himself as a fish, Nicko meets the mermaid underwater, discovers she is actually a princess cursed by the ogre, and breaks the spell by falling in love and agreeing to marry her. Once freed and back on land, the princess arranges for the witch to transform the ogre into a harmless rock, restoring peace to the town while Nicko and the princess return to her kingdom to live happily ever after.
