An adventurous King and Queen set sail to explore a new land across the sea, leaving a small crew of servants behind. When they don't return as planned, the servants fear the worst and are forced to make some decisions as to what to do. Most of them leave the castle and find new positions in neighboring kingdoms, but two remain — the Fool and the Cook. They have the inspired idea to pretend to be the King and Queen of that land and live the life of their dreams. What follows surprises them both.
