Synopsis

The Lost Half-Hour tells the story of Bobo, a simple lad who cheerfully endures much teasing from his "friends" who send him on a quest to find a lost half-hour, naturally assuming that he will fail.

Bobo takes his quest seriously and amazes everyone when he finds not only the lost half-hour but also a lost temper, a lost reputation and a lost princess who happily marries her heroic rescuer.
