A prince and a peasant temporarily switch lives, only to find themselves in a race against the clock to return the rightful heir to the throne and save the Kingdom from an evil plot.

A humble pauper, Mickey shares a striking resemblance with the royal prince. The prince changes places with Mickey for a while so that he will be free to go where he pleases.

Mickey and his delightful double, along with Donald, Goofy, Horace, and Pluto, bring all the warmth and adventure of Disney's version of Mark Twain's 'Prince and the pauper' to life in this illustrated storybook.
