The Prince and the Pauper Page #3

Synopsis: Long ago in a land with an ailing king, there was a pair of boys who looked exactly alike, a pauper called Mickey and the other, the Crown Prince. Mickey dreamed of plenty and an easy life as Royalty and the Prince dreamed of the freedom as a subject. Happenstance throws them together and their mutual resemblence inspires the pair to switch identities to see how the other lives. To their surprise, Mickey learns of the duties and responsibilties of royalty while the Prince learns to his horror that the Royal Captain of the Guard has taken advantage of the existing power vacuum to inflict brutal tyranny on the subjects. Now the Prince must react to this evil, unaware that the Captain knows about the identity swap and is using it to his own advantage while dominating Mickey who play the Heir to the Throne.

Now that our dearly departed|king is out of my way...

you're gonna do|every little thing I say.

'Cause if you don't...'

- Pluto!|- Get the picture?

You there, what's happened?

The king is dead...

and the prince|is to be crowned at once!

Father...

Your soup's almost ready, Mick...

I mean, Your Majesty.

Now it's up to me to right|the wrongs I've seen...

children going hungry,|corruption everywhere.

Gawrsh, you really|are the prince, ain't ya?

Sire, your wish is my command.

Goofy, I owe you my life.

And this will not be forgotten.

Come, friend. We must return|to the palace at once...

For a visit to the dungeon,|my prince!

Get him, boys!

En garde!

Let me go, let me go, I say.|How dare you?

You'll pay for this, Captain!

I command you|to put me down right now!

After the pauper's crowned,|it will be adieu for you.

Let me out of here!

I'm the prince's valet!

Your Highness! Your Highness! We're saved!

Wait a minute.|You're in here, too.

We're doomed!

The coronation!

My lord.

This charade|has gone on long enough.

I demand that you open|this door immediately.

Shut up! Huh?

Well, looks like the boss|ain't wastin' any time.

Be my guest, pal.

Hey, what's the big idea?

Sorry.

You wouldn't happen|to have an axe I could borrow, would you?

Thank you.

I've had a lovely evening.

- Gawrsh.|- Goofy!

Just sit tight, little buddy.

I'll have you|outta there in a jiffy.

Be seated, sire.

After you.

No, no.|Beauty before age, sire.

Oh, no. Age before beauty.

Your Highness,|you're such a sport.

- Sit down!|- Got it.

Let me see. Was it|the skinny one or the round?

Maybe it was this little...

Get 'em, boys!

Gawrsh, that thing's sharp.

Oops.

It is both|my duty and pleasure...

to crown you...

I say,|you're a rather wiry lad.

So slippery.|Would you hold still?

- Stop!|- What the...?

Look, I'm the prince, right?

And whatever|I order must be done, right?

Uh... yes.

Well, then, the captain|is an insolent scoundrel.

Guards, seize him!

Seize him!|He's an impostor!

But I'm not, Captain!

Thank you, guardsman.

Oh, boy!

Wait a minute, Your Majesty.

I can explain everything.

Very well.|I await your explanation.

Your Majesty is too kind.

Look out, sire!

Geronimo!

Hold on, sire. I'll...

I got you now, you valet!

Fooled again, Captain!

Out of my way!

Oh, boy,|am I glad to see...

I mean, what a time I've...

Ah, but, you see, I...

Good heavens,|which one is which?

Pluto!

I guess there's|no fooling you, boy.

Therefore, I crown you|Prince of England...

I mean, King.|King of England.
