Summary
Though the emperor banishes the nightingale in preference for a jeweled mechanical imitation, the little bird remains faithful and returns years later when the emperor is near death and no one else can help him.

In ancient China, the young emperor Wu is kept a virtual prisoner in his palace by his scheming guardian. For Wu, the world outside the Forbidden City is a dangerous place. But when he hears a young peasant girl talk of the beautiful nightingaleâs song, itâs too much to resist, and the two embark on an incredible and dangerous adventure.
