The Prince and the Pauper: 5: Prison
by Mark Twain.
Adapted for television by Rhoda Power.
Part Four of the serial left Tom Canty the pauper still in the palace dressed in the clothes of the young King Edward VI. No-one knows that he is not the real King and preparations are being made for his coronation.
Meanwhile the real King is in prison with Miles Hendon, the man who befriended him without knowing who he really is. They have been thrown into prison by Miles Hendon's younger brother Hugh. While Miles was abroad this brother stole his lands, his house, and the lady he was to marry.
The young King, of course, is furiously angry at being thrust into gaol.
