The Court Jester plot

"We asked Shakespeare and Francis Bacon, "Would they declare which one wrote this?" and they both said, "Get outta there!""

The throne of England is occupied by an illegitimate and evil king (Cecil Parker). Hubert Hawkins (Danny Kaye) infiltrates the court as a fake jester to put the real king back in his place.
