In this Spanish adventure, the trouble begins when it is revealed that the ruler of Catalonia has been replaced by his evil twin brother. Unfortunately for him, the despot forgot about his murdered brother's son--the rightful heir. He enlists the assistance of the Castillian soldiers and reclaims his throne. To strengthen the newly formed bond between Castile and Catalonia a royal wedding ensues and peace is restored.
