The Little Mermaid, the youngest daughter of the sea king, lives in an underwater kingdom and dreams of seeing the human world. One day, she saves a prince from drowning in the sea and falls in love with him.

However, the prince marries another, and the Little Mermaid, unwilling to kill him to return to the sea, turns into sea foam.
