In his search, he valiantly decides to become a soldier and joins his father's campaign. He then visits his grandmother, who gives him some "wise" advice, but finds out that her advice wasn't so wise after all. Meanwhile, Charlemagne, Pippin's father, is up to his usual business of slaying thousands. Upon hearing this, Pippin decides to murder him.

King Pippin tries ruling his father's empire but soon discovers that it's more than a piece of cake. He tries different careers. Finally, in despair, he thinks that he has no more hope in achieving his complete fulfillment. Then suddenly, out of the blue, your average ordinary kind of woman, Catherine, picks him up off the street. Pippin is charmed by the woman with a small boy and a large estate. But, still thinking that love isn't complete fulfillment, he leaves her. With nothing else to try, there is only one thing left -- the finale.
