There once was a strange little man with a hard to remember name and a knack for turning straw into gold. Years after trying to take the queen's child, Rumpelstiltskin has served his time and completed his punishment. But, is he a changed man?

Rumpelstiltskin is trying to prove that he is a legitimate business man. Things aren't going too well for this shrewed salesman. When he sells straw and sticks to the pigs as house building material, trades Jack's cow for a few magic beans, and sells the Emperor's tailors some fabric like they've never seen, the people of Fairytale land want justice! The trial begins July 30, 2011! See you there!
