Lou Holtz says how much he likes ballet, wonders why the girls are always running with no one chasing them and the male dancers are always running to the female dancers. He does an amalgam of nursery rhyme lines in a long dissertation.

His Royal Slyness Synopsis

An American book salesman (Lloyd) is persuaded to go to the kingdom of Thermosa to impersonate the Prince. He is greeted by a peasants' revolt before the real prince shows up to claim his throne and princess. The revolution succeeds, and the American is elected president of the new republic.
