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.

Eden and Adelaide Phillpotts's famous comedy is set in the small Devon fishing village of Yellow Sands, where local life turns largely on the idiosyncrasies of the Varwell family. And a very assorted clan they are, too, notably the men-the philosophic tippler Dick (older play-goers will remember Cedric Hardwicke here), and the two young contrasted brothers, Joe with an obsession for socialist theory, Arthur with his weakness for redheads. And now the approaching eightieth birthday of wealthy Jenifer Varwell serves to throw the family differences of taste and character into relief-the more so because everybody is more than a little concerned with his or her eventual prospects under Jenifer's will.
