Synopsis
The Star Prince falls to earth on a star and is found and reared by a woodcutter. Because the haughty prince is cruel to the beggar who claims to be his mother, a fairy transforms him into an ugly pauper. Ashamed, the prince sets out to find his mother. On his quest, he survives several adventures involving the wicked witch and the little princess, who falls in love with him. When the evil dwarf tries to force the princess to marry him, the Star Prince rescues her, whereupon he is changed back to his original form. The dwarf, however, is turned into a pig, while the Star Prince marries the beautiful princess.

Notes
Although made in 1918, The Star Prince film apparently was not released until 1920, when it was retitled Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Although an ad for the 1920 release indicated that the production company was Wholesome Film Co., that May have been a later name for The Little Players' Film Co., which produced The Star Prince.
The company, or companies, which had offices in New York and Chicago, produced a small number of films, including Cinderella (1918), which featured casts composed almost entirely of children.
