Movie producer Fred Wallace spots Mr. French in the park and thinks he would be perfect to play Henry VIII in his new production. The very proper French flatly declines. But person after person, including all in the Davis family and French's fellow Brit domestics, believe it would be a good opportunity for him. He agrees to do it as he believes most on screen characterizations of Henry have been too broad and farcical. French wants to portray Henry in a dignified and proper manner. As production begins and as French tells Bill about the nature of shooting, Bill thinks that Wallace may not be all that French believes him to be. Indeed, Bill finds out that Wallace operates a fly-by-night production company that makes low budget schlock. Bill even manages to screen the movie before the premiere, the movie which would embarrass French's proper British sensibilities. Bill has to figure out a way to stop the movie's release while not letting French know what the movie was all about.
