Plot

In some European castle the King (Stan) is getting royally drunk. His guests, mainly in Prussian style uniforms, await downstairs but he struggles to get down. When the cuckoo clock sounds he shoots it. The King wants more drink. The princess says he needs a punch on the nose. She sends a message to Rudolph, an American style gent who looks just like the King. He tells Princess Minnie that Count Aspirin intercepted her letter. Count Aspirin arrives but he knows Rupert is not the King because he is not drunk. The missing letter gets grabbed from one person to the next.

Outside Rupert is cheered by a small group of children who thinks he is the King. As he bends to talk to a small girl a boy kicks his backside so he goes back inside. Rupert goes to his "mountain house in London". Rupert and Rudolph have a sword duel as Lady Pott Dome lazes and eats chocolates. Princess Minnie arrives and gives Rudolph a note: "I never want to see you again" she leaves with Count Bromo.
