...than his counterpart in the palace until he encounters a young soldier of fortune named Miles Hendon (Errol Flynn). Hendon feeds him, humors his apparently preposterous notion that he is the King of England, sets out, when the boy is kidnapped, to rescue him from John Canty's gang of thieves. When the rescue entails fighting off the palace guards, sent to kill the young King before he can return to foil the Hertford,plot, Hendon begins to think his young protege's ideas of his own grandeur may not be delusions after all, hurries him back...

Two wrecks later, shortly before the captured Vandenbush was sentenced to Sing Sing, another gang held up the bank, again put staff and customers in the vault. Had the robbers in either case closed the vault's steel door on their victims, they would have suffocated. Last week, forehanded President Edward Fielder had the vault of his well-rifled bank fitted out with a ventilating system...
