'Eric Sykes' started as a radio scriptwriter but he soon found he could perform as well as write. The slight handicap of being very hard of hearing doesn't interfere with his wonderful comic timing. The spectacles he wears have no lenses but contain a bone conducting hearing aid.

Em uma festa selvagem nos anos 60, o bebê Thomas Henry Butterfly Rainbow Peace é acidentalmente trocado por seus ricos pais hippies. O herdeiro real é criado por uma pobre família paquistanesa, enquanto o herdeiro errado cresce na América, com uma colher de prata na boca. Quando Tommy Patel descobre que ele, não Henry Martin, é o verdadeiro Duque de Bournemouth, faz de tudo para recuperar o que perdeu! Felizmente, para Henry, Tommy é um assassino sem habilidades. Infelizmente, para ambos, o desleixado advogado de Tommy, Shadgrind, é um pouquinho melhor! Junte a isso uma duquesa ninfomaníaca, uma golpista, mais vários malucos, e você terá mais uma comédia para lá de engraçada e original.

Quando os líderes da congregação percebem o erro e pedem para a Igreja da Inglaterra removê-lo, isso acaba sendo uma questão muito, muito difícil - até que um clérigo se lembra que um projeto britânico para enviar um homem ao espaço está precisando de um astronauta.
