Ophelia is in the museum while her father works on a special exhibit.  Bored, she starts to explore and discovers a boy who is locked in a room.  He tells her his story and she works to free him and find the sword he needs.

The adventures that Ophelia encounters are entertaining and seem to be exactly what an 11 yr old would want to do.
