Rassendyll agrees, and the ceremony goes off without a hitch, but when Rupert's men discover this subterfuge, they imprison the real Prince as they threaten to reveal the secret of the new "king". Rassendyll's dilemma is compounded when he finds himself falling in love with Princess Flavia (Deborah Kerr), Rudolph's intended...
