The Prisoner of Zenda

While the weak and drunken King Rudolph of Ruritania (Lewis Stone) awaits his coronation, he is drugged by his brother, Black Michael (Stuart Holmes), who is preparing a coup d'état. Michael's plans are thwarted by the substitution at Rudolph's coronation of Rassendyll (also Stone, in a dual role), an Englishman who is the king's exact double. Michael, discovering the ruse, kidnaps the real king and holds him captive in the castle at Zenda.
