Plot

Hawthorne is breathtaking as poor old King George, who, after 30 years reign, has gone completely barking mad. While his evil son plots to steal the throne, the men in the white coats subject the captive King to a stomach-churning array of torturous treatment. Bawdy, shockingly funny and just brilliant!
