Summary
In the whimsical, if politically unstable, realm of Grecovia, an American novelist, Peter J. Smith, embarks on what he anticipates will be a quiet research trip. Instead, he is thrust into a ludicrous royal charade when a cabal of bumbling castle conspirators, mistaking him for the youthful Boy King, abduct him. Their grand scheme involves forcing Peter into an impromptu marriage with Princess Zola, a move designed to consolidate their own power. However, Peter's unexpected escape precipitates a series of calamitous events for the plotters, culminating in their own self-destruction. The true Boy King subsequently ascends to his rightful throne, with the forced marriage to Princess Zola swiftly annulled, allowing her to wed the legitimate monarch. Meanwhile, Peter, having survived this absurd ordeal, returns to a more conventional life, finding matrimony with Alice Maynard, the daughter of his own publisher.
