The Court Jester

Hubert Hawkins, a minstrel, steals the identity of an apparent court jester to spy in the usurping King's castle. He becomes embroiled in a complex plot involving witch Griselda, the princess, and a series of disguises, hypnosis, and sword fights. Maid Jean, a rebel captain, and Hawkins' love interest, help him navigate this treacherous world, while the true king and his infant son are protected by the Black Fox's band of rebels.
