Plot
A group of jesters sneak illegally into London, but are ambushed by the demons. A jester woman in the group attempts to flee with her son named Leonard, but the demons' boss, Dark Lord, chases and kills her outside the Forbidden Castle. As cruelty, the Dark Lord's second wife, the Enchantress, turns the boy into a hideous troll and kept prisoner in the castle.

Twenty years later, Leonard develops into a kind and selfish yet isolated young man who has lived inside the castle his entire life with his new friends; Rocky, a dim-witted dragon, Nicky, a unintelligent ogre, and his pet parrot, Eggman. Leonard is about to be free to spend his days cracking jokes and getting into mischief, every comedian's dream. Now Leonard also managed to strike up a friendship with Crown Prince Robin, who has the same age as Leonard and is struggling to rule the kingdom and could use a laugh or two. But even when he's having fun, Leonard often has the clearest judgment of anyone at court. He wishes he could be seen as more than just a joke, especially by the beautiful Princess Bia, who believes his wisecracking ways are doing her wise father - and the kingdom - more harm than good.

Enraged, the Enchantress' half-demon son, Homer, banishes Leonard and help his mother sold his soul with the powers to abuse all the jesters and send the demons to captures Prince Robin and take him into the Forbidden Castle, to keep him as a prisoner, but he escapes.

Princess Bia follows Leonard outside and befriends him, who helps her escape the Forbidden Forest out of gratitude for defending him. She entrusts her father and Leonard a pendant containing a map to the jesters' hideout. The creatures encourage Leonard to confess his feelings for Bia, but he is heartbroken that she had fallen in love wth the Prince. She was waiting for his 19th birthday.

The Dark Lord captures all the jesters, including Prince Robin (who is disguised as one of them), and kept them as prisoner, planning to annihilate and kill their entire race. Homer kidnaps Bia and prepares to marries her, but Prince Robin rescues her. Bernard accidentally releases the jesters and rallies the citizens of Paris against the Dark Lord and his henchmen, who try to pursue their jester race. The Dark Lord is killed as result from being crushed by rocks, while the Enchantress and Homer falls into the lava and is burned. The demons chases after the heroes and the ensuing chase begins. Suddenly facing their roadblock, Leonard battles the demons and tricks them into climbing the tower. When they gets to the top, Leonard uses the magic to make the demons lose their wings, and much to their weight, the tower begin to fall, sending the demons falling to their deaths.

Leonard and the jesters comes to accept that Prince Robin and Bia are in love, but when Prince Bia has Leonard's true love in her heart, chooses him instead, gives them blessing. The jesters celebrates after the destruction of the Forbidden Castle and accepts Leonard into society. Afterwards, Prince Robin marries his long-lost wife while Leonard presumably marries Bia and they are happily ever after.
