The king of Burgonia very young son, who escaped to America is now a young man and wants to go home to his people, where he can now rule. He's about Jimmy Olsen's age now and Olsen and Kent are the given to story to cover the coronation event. Howewer, the opposing forces who drove the youngster into exile and still around and don't want to see the real prince return. A last-minute plot to kill the prince in America is foiled by Superman.

The prince, in gratitude, gives his ring to Olsen to give to Superman. Meanwhile, Olsen and Kent travel to the foreign country but at the gate, spies waiting to capture the prince, see the ring on Olsen's finger and think he's the royalty. Olsen tries to explain to everyone that's he not the prince but no one is listening. Soon, after more attempts on Olsen's life foiled by Kent, they decide to let Jimmy pretend a little while longer until the real prince makes it safely back.

A "fair" episode in all and a bit unusual in that Lois Lane was absent and Perry White had a very small role in the beginning. It could have used a little more humor to spice it up a bit. The episode was just a bit flat for what could have been a very wild story.

There is a coup going on in a little European country, Burgonia, and the Prince is going back to settle things down. The Prince spends time with Jimmy Olsen and they develop a friendship. While they are together, an attempt is made on his life, and Superman must circumvent it. The Prince is grateful and wants to give Superman a beautiful ring, the symbol of his country. But because Superman takes off immediately, he gives the ring to Jimmy to give to Superman at their next meeting. Of course, because he is wearing the ring, some revolutionaries think he is the prince when he arrives in Burgonia. No matter what he says, no one believes him. He even meets a woman who has been part of an arranged marriage. She is very friendly to Jimmy, if you get my gist. Also, it seems that just about everyone in the picture are set upon killing the Prince/Jimmy. Of course, Clark is there, so Superman is there, and numerous assassination attempts are foiled without Jimmy even realizing it. Eventually the efforts to be subtle in their efforts forces the bad guys to simply stick Jimmy in front of a firing squad. A fun episode, if only to watch Jimmy trying not to be the Prince and failing to get his point across.
