In a mythical kingdom, a rugged soldier-of-fortune, Michael Donovan (Victor McLaglen), is hired to kidnap King Peter II (Freddie Bartholomew), the boy king, so that a new political party can take control of the country. The young king is in favor of the scheme because it will allow him to get away and have fun.
