Synopsis
Brutus, the dastardly Black Baron, has challenged his wimpy cousin to a duel. A duel to the death! Poor Prince Billy ...all he really wants to do is marry Lady Violetzka, and maybe write some badly rhyming poems. 'Be proud my pounding heart, my knocking knees knock less. Stand firm my armour! (And my underpants and vest!)'.
