The Triplets are first-hand witnesses to the story of two English boys who, despite the fact that they look exactly alike, are not twins: one is a prince and the other a pauper. The girls arrive in London just at the time the two boys meet up with each other and the Triplets come up with the entertaining idea of the two boys exhanging clothes. It turns out, however, that the King’s soldiers then throw the prince off the royal grounds, thinking he’s a pauper, leaving the girls and the real pauper in the luxurious palace setting.
