An impoverished lad with an abusive, alcoholic father, Tom dreams of a life of riches and adventure, while Prince Edward Tudor, son of the often-merciless King Henry VIII (Alan Bates), dreams of being a normal child and being able to play in rags. When Tom tumbles unnoticed through the guarded gate and onto the grounds of the royal palace, he meets the young Prince. The two boys become fast friends and embark on an adventure of their lifetime - trading places! With the help of an altruistic stranger, Miles Hendon (Aidan Quinn), the Prince overcomes John Canty’s wrath and imprisonment, while Tom finds himself trapped behind the royal gates and fending off the nefarious Lord Hertford (Jonathan Hyde).
