When the monarch of the tiny nation of Ruritania plummets to his death from a hot air balloon, the rightful heir to the throne is kidnapped by Duke Michael, who is next in line for the throne. Fortunately, the good guys find Syd, a London cab driver who closely resembles the kidnapped heir. While impersonating the monarch-to-be, Syd falls in love with the prince's fiancee Princess Flavia.
