Cлавный царь Дадон правил сказочным тридесятым государством. На старости лет решил он отдохнуть от своих ратных дел. Но на тридевятое царство начали нападать враги. За помощью царь Дадон обратился к мудрецу-звездочету, который подарил правителю Золотого петушка. Если предвиделась война, петушок начинал кричать и кукарекать. Через год на тридевятое царство напали враги. Царь отправляет на восток войско во главе со старшим сыном. Золотой петушок успокоился, но через восемь дней вновь закричал. Царь отправил на помощь старшему сыну еще одно войско во главе с младшим сыном. Когда и второй сын не вернулся, Дадон сам отправился на поиски. Промеж высоких гор он находит мертвых сыновей, вонзивших мечи друг в друга, и сказочный шатер с Шамаханской царицей...
