...vanished throne of France, attempted from his Belgian exile to create an impression that what was afoot was a coup to crown him. "We have decided," royally manifestoed Guise again, as he often has before, "to reconquer the throne of our fathers! The monarchy, while protecting the Church, will not be clerical...
...Father Malachy of being in league with Red Russia, a policeman tries to arrest him for disorderly conduct. A high-voltage U. S. publicity man angles for exclusive rights to promote Father Malachy in movies and press.
