After a firefight with Darph Bobo the crew is forced to make an emergency landing on the planed Muldavia 5 (It's not the one with insatiable nymphos either to Chodes chagrin). On the planet Chode finds his long lost (and to him unknown), identical twin, HRH King Regis Philbrick ruler of all Muldavia. The twins decide to swap places, to try out each others life style. Chode soon finds the boring dreary side of being ruler with all the handshaking and baby kissing, and Regis sees the dangers of fighting dark clowns.
