The Prince and the Pauper: 4: Hendon Hall
by Mark Twain, adapted for television by Rhoda Power.

Tom Canty the beggar, still dressed in Edward VI's clothes, is playing the part of the King, while Edward - the real king - is going about with a gang of beggars and having a bad time.
He was left gagged and bound in the hut of a mad hermit. He heard his friend Miles Hendon come to the door and then the hermit taking Miles away. The next minute his enemies John Canty and Hugo, the beggars from whom he had escaped, appeared in the hut. What happened after that you are now going to see.
