When the King of Ruritania is drugged before his coronation, an English tourist who happens to be his lookalike is persuaded to impersonate him.

The Englishman must maintain his royal disguise while navigating palace intrigue, assassination attempts, and forbidden love with Princess Flavia—all while trying to rescue the real king from his captors.
