==Synopsis==

==Plot==
Rose and Petunia are pretending to have a tea party at their backyard with their ragdolls, then Rose asks Petunia if she wants to visit Butterfly Valley and she agrees, so Rose uses the magic flower to transport herself and Petunia to the valley.
They went to Bluebell, who is picking up an apple from a tree. She reminds the twins that a team of Butterfly Fairies archeologists are going to explore some ancient ruins and unravel a mysterious treasure, much to the twins' surprise.
Meanwhile, a team of Butterfly Fairy archeologists are trying to climb on a steep cliff. One of the archeologists passes a hooked rope to pull the others to the top of the cliff.
The archeologists soon went to some strange ancient ruins and enter an ancient temple. They look around the temple and notice a strange tomb. One of the archeologists opens the tome and out comes King Put, King Boogieman's ancestor. King Put attacks the archeologists with his own magic powers and soon targets Butterfly Valley.
The Butterfly Fairies freak out as King Put invades Butterfly Valley. Rose, Petunia and Bluebell notice King Put and try to stop him by using their magic powers, but they don't work as Put dodges them.
King Put soon notices the palace and captures Princess Butterfly. The Butterfly Fairy royal guards are alerted that Princess Butterfly was kidnapped and went to attack him, then King Boogieman, who is eventually revealed to own the property rights to the ruins, came in to the scene and notices King Put, who turns out to be Boogieman's ancestor, holding Princess Butterfly.
King Boogieman challenges King Put to a battle and they fought at a steep cliff. Once Boogieman finishes off his ancestor, Princess Butterfly escapes from King Put's hand, but King Boogieman captures her and tries to make her marry him on the spot. However, she uses the Magic Crystal to turn her and the children into butterflies and fly away.
The twins bid farewell to the Butterfly Fairies and use the magic flower to return home. They found some ancient relics on the lawn and decide to keep it for themselves, then they went back into the house as the episode ends.
==Trivia==
*The strobing lights in this episode caused many children to have seizures, which leads to television regulations adding the rules that tv shows should not have strobing lights for effects.
*The episodes also had dark imagery, such as the mummy wrappings dragging Princess Butterfly into the tomb, past several skeletons, some of which still had flesh.
*King Put would later return in the episode "The Ancestor' from the first season of the 1998 series.
