Tina Lothar was an infamous cat burglar, making both her fortune and her reputation in the kingdom of Wellber. One night, she sneaks into the castle... where she witnesses Princess Rita Sior stabbing the man that was to be her husband, Prince Gernia Han of Sangratras. Due to a series of unlikely events, both Tina and Rita end up running out of the country with their companions Sherry and Sir Cyrano de Bergerac, on a quest to the country of Sangratras to attempt to stop war from breaking out.

=== This series provides examples of the following tropes: ===
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[All Men Are Perverts]]: All of the men in Dust Lust, at least.
* [[Arranged Marriage]]: Rita enters into one with Gernia to avoid war with Sangratras. Of course, then she ends up stabbing the guy...
Line 14 ⟶ 12:
* [[Bodyguard Crush]]: {{spoiler|Rita starts to fall for Galahad by the second season. Too bad Weiss felt the same way towards Rita...}}
* [[Dead Little Sister]]: Tina's family was killed in front of her by the Death Wasp Man. Hearing about him being sighted in Sangratras was one of the reasons she volunteered to guard Rita.
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Princesses]]
* [[Framing the Guilty Party]]: When Tina gets framed for stealing a vase after having promised Rita to retire from her life of crime... except [[Subverted Trope|she really]] ''[[Subverted Trope|didn't]]'' [[Subverted Trope|steal that vase]], and has to spend the rest of the episode clearing herself.
* [[Girls Withwith Guns]]: Tina uses one, despite the (mostly) fantasy setting. She intentionally uses less gunpowder to make her shots non-lethal, however.
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: Most of the characters take their shot, usually when someone needs to carry the [[Idiot Ball]].
* [[Hooker Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: The city of Dust Lust is basically a town ''full'' of these.
* [[I Have Boobs - You Must Obey!]]: How Tina and Rita manage to escape from the search party in Dust Lust.
* [[Important Haircut]]: For both practical and symbolic reasons, Princess Rita cuts her hair in the second episode. It doesn't stop people from recognizing her, though.
Line 33 ⟶ 31:
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: {{spoiler|The Mayor from the third episode.}}
* [[Princesses Prefer Pink]]: Well, her hair is pink, anyway.
* [[Rape Asas Drama]]: What Prince Gernia seems to have been trying to do to Rita when we first see her, and the reason she stabbed him. {{spoiler|This is (mostly) a misunderstanding: Prince Gernia is actually a serial killer who collects women's eyes, and he wanted Rita's ''bad''. The knife she stabbed him with [[Irony|was the one he was going to kill him with]].}}
* [[Rebellious Princess]]: Rita, sort of. Well, it was that or get executed, so she didn't really have much choice.
* [[Revenge Before Reason]]: Tina's desire to see the Death Wasp Man pay for killing her family drives much of her actions throughout the show.
