The mad old King Rudolph of Ruritania (Peter Sellers) has died in a hot air ballon. His eldest son Rudolph (Peter Sellers) is frittering away his life in London. Two faithful Ruritanian retainers travel to England to find cabbie Syd (Peter Sellers) who is of course a dead ringer for the new King. Syd is persauded to act the part of the royal personage in order to foil the plans of the evil Prince Michael (Jeremy Kemp). Once in Ruritania however, chaos ensuses with Syd falling heavily for the King's fiancee-the Princess Flavia (Lynne Frederick). This marvellous comedy is a farcical remake of the classic drama by Anthony Hope, shot on beautiful locations in Austria. The daring Princess Flavia is played by Lynne Frederick, the real-life wife of the late great Peter Sellers. ©1979 Universal City Studios, Inc and Mirisch Corp.
