The Princess and the Singer

Episode Number: 19    Season Num: 1    First Aired: Saturday November 1, 1986    Prod Code: n/a
Jem and the Holograms are invited by a European princess to visit her country, Morvania and give a Royal Command Performance. Kimber runs into the princess, Adriana who looks exactly like her in a marketplace and accidentally switches places with her. This puts Kimber in a lot of danger when she gets kidnapped by agents of the princess's traitorous cousin in an evil plot to seize the throne. Unfortunately Jem, Aja and Shana have no idea that she's in trouble since the real princess is posing as Kimber to protect herself.
