The Prince and Betty

A young man becomes embroiled in a scheme by a wealthy entrepreneur to strengthen the prospects of a tiny principality by installing a glamorous figurehead as its nominal ruler. He adopts the role for publicity, experiences culture clash and urban bustle, and becomes romantically entangled with a spirited young woman whose connections complicate matters. The plan attracts media attention, rival claimants, and a mixture of farce and affectionate satire as advisers, secretaries, and local dignitaries jockey for advantage. Events culminate in political reversals and personal reckonings that resolve loyalties and romantic intentions.
