Prince Florizel of Cordovia and Princess Brenda of Irania are promised in marriage, but the idea appeals to neither of them. The King sends his son to London, incognito, to cool his heels. He is accompanied by the faithful Colonel Geraldine who is entrusted with his care. After meeting a mysterious woman aboard ship who just as mysteriously dissappears, Prince Florizel finds himself involved in a bizarre underground "Suicide Club" and an elaborate assasination plot. Entertaining black comedy with Montgomery turning in a credible performance and Russell registering a little wooden, but still good.
