Marion Davies is compelled to impersonate the Duke or Prince of Graustark to save the kingdom from evil Prince Snarkalot or something. That basic plot has probably been filmed a hundred times but no others had the gifts of Marion Davies, who once again proves she was one of the funniest actors ever filmed. Her facial expressions, her physical movements, she took second place to nobody.

Also doesn't hurt that she's gorgeous. So of course the film works in a romance angle with Antonio Moreno, who put the dash in dashing. Wow.

There are a lot of fun set pieces: Uncle Fatso taking the poisoned drink, Davies getting drunk on too many toasts, the royal ball, and most funny of all the night chamber scene. I laughed out loud.

Marion Davies is absolutely adorable as Beverly, an American college girl who must masquerade as her cousin, Prince Oscar of Graustark, lest he lose the throne. There is some interesting chemistry as she (in male drag) falls in love with her bodyguard... and he certainly seems to be smitten with the young "prince" too! Anyone who doubts Marion Davies talents as a comic actress should view this film.

Marion Davies is a young American woman who must stand in for her cousin Prince Oscar when he is injured while being escorted to take his throne. She falls in love with goatherd Dantan, who helped rescue her from the evil General Marlanax, and after assorted palace intrigue everything ends happily.

Marion Davies is OK in a role that seems perfect for Mary Pickford. Quite competent, but there is nothing to go out of the way for.
