Story Summary:

Prince Horace is a mischievous prince who lives in a medieval castle. He enjoys pranks and refuses to study the lessons that his tutor prepares. As a result, everyone calls him Prince Brat.

The boys begin a wild adventure that lands them in the clutches of two thieving cutthroats! Can Jemmy use his street smarts to outwit his kidnappers and free himself and the prince?
