Un synopsis détaillé est fourni par la page Le Conte du tsar Saltan (conte). Cependant le film, sans doute pour ne pas être trop répétitif, n'a retenu que deux métamorphoses du prince Gvidon au lieu de trois. Les dialogues, les chants sont en vers, vraisemblablement par respect pour l'œuvre originale, mais aussi pour éloigner ce récit merveilleux des contraintes du réel.
