Some Pumpkins Synopsis
At a hick town barn dance , a couple come out to the entrance way to share some patter. He's tall with tight fitting clothes, she's short and dumpy. Though it's apparently supposed to be happening in the present, (he demonstrates to her "The Black Bottom") both are dressed in 1890's style clothes, with her in a bonnet and hoop skirt. They hug a lot, their height difference accentuated, and they try some dance steps, she trips up and falls down, her skirt going up and revealing funny patterned knickers.
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.
"His Royal Slyness" is currently leading in ratings, making it a stronger choice for newcomers to the genre.
