I found this on eBay...

In the time of the Tsars, there was a Tsar named Yeremy who decided to take a voyage. He was Tsar of all the land, but what land was that? He set out to survey his holdings, but before long he is kidnapped by the Tsar of Underwater, Chudo-Yudo. Soon his family receives a ransom demand, and from there begin the true adventures in this superb Russian Fairy Tale.

Also found this on another listing...

Once upon a time there lived a tsar by the name of Yeremey. He went on a year-long travel over his realm to take inventory of everything that belonged to him. One day he bent over a well to have a drink of water and was immediately grabbed by the underwater tsar Chudo-Yudo. The latter demanded a ransom for Yeremey’s freedom – something that he had no knowledge of in his tsardom. And indeed, Yeremey had no idea that in his absence the Tsarina had given birth to a son.
The film tells a story of how, despite all kinds of intrigue and treachery, Andrey, a fisherman’s son, and Barbara met and fell in love with each other, how Tsar Yeremey was put to shame on account of his lazy numskull of a son, and how, in the long run, everything came to a happy end. There are a lot of remarkable adventures, magic changes and other fun in this wonderful fairy-tale movie…

Nothing like waiting 5 years for a reply, eh? :P
