Storyline Edit. The throne of rightful King of England, the small baby with the purple pimpernel birthmark, has been usurped by the evil King Roderick I Cecil Parker. Only the Black Fox Edward Ashley can restore the true King to the throne - and all he needs is the King's key to a secret tunnel. And while he's trying to steal it, someone has to change the King's diapers. The Fox's Lieutenant, Maid Jean Glynis Johns , guards Hawkins and the baby while they travel, but when they meet the King's new jester on the road, they decide to initiate a daring plan for Hawkins to replace him, become an intimate at the court, and steal the key.
