In 16th Century London, a pauper called Tom Canty reads to a group a children but is attacked by his cruel father John Canty and threatened that he will be beaten if he does not steal five shillings by suppertime. Tom goes into the city square and steals a purse from a rich man, but drops it after bumping into another man. Thinking that Tom still has the purse, the rich man and other men chase Tom through the streets of London. Tom escapes by climbing up a wall and through a window, where he falls into a palace garden in front of King Henry VIII, who sets the guards on him. However, Tom outruns them by going to the roof of the castle and hiding in a chimney. In the grounds, Henry VIII orders for The Duke of Norfolk to be arrested during the masked ball that evening.
Hungarian Summary:
Edward herceg - az angol trón örököse, VIII. Henrik fia - beteges atyja mellett az ország legfontosabb embere, akit éjjel-nappal gárdisták őriznek. Mégis megtörténik, hogy ruhát és életet cserél Tom Canty-vel, a szegénynegyed tolvajával, és mocskosan, megalázva, megverve, kitaszítottként ismeri meg a nép életét, míg Tom, a szegény tolvaj a palotában marad. Egy királyfi és egy szegény fiú kalandos szerepcseréjének története, akik a megszólalásig hasonlítottak egymáshoz. "Lehet, hogy csak mese, lehet, hogy csak legenda, lehet, hogy csak hagyomány, lehet, hogy megtörtént, de az is lehet, hogy nem, de megtörténhetett..." Így kezdődik a Mark Twain világhírű regényéből készült klasszikus filmalkotás, melynek főbb szerepeiben világsztárokat láthatunk.
