Synopsis of the screenplay
In late December 1940, the British people are fighting for survival in the war against Germany. The Earl of Westrow, a Fascist supporter, puts into effect a plot which has been conceived by the Germans. He kidnaps the fourteen-year-old Princess Elizabeth.
Westrow and the shadowy figures behind him believe that by threatening the Princess’s life they can force King George VI to sign a peace treaty with Germany.
Jane Padget, daughter of the King’s Legal Secretary, and Seymour Jensen, son of a US Embassy official, are witnesses to Princess Elizabeth’s capture. With time running out, these two young people embark on their own mission to resolve the crisis.
