Pete is elected to the position. Bud, failing to land the job, falls into the anarchists' hands and is ordered to slay the ruler. Pete finds life one sweet song, especially when his eyes behold the fair Nicotina, the real ruler's favorite tango artiste. Bud, attempting to carry out the anarchists' orders, is captured by the guards and brought before his pal. Delighted to see his little partner once more, Pete promptly appoints Bud assistant king. But Peter's ire is aroused when he discovers that Nicotina is smitten with the little chap. He is about to pour the vials of his wrath upon Bud's head when King Gazabo, tiring of the discomforts of the safety room, decides to return to the throne. The real king is furious when he learns of Nicotina's fickleness. Forthwith he orders Pete and Bud hurled into the torture chamber where they are to be tickled to death. Just at this time, however, the Queen discovers her hubby's fondness for the dancer. Before poor Gazabo knows what has struck him, he, too, is shot down the torture chute.
