Crossed Swords is a dazzling action film adapted from Mark Twain's classic The Prince and the Pauper. Tom (Lester), a poor commoner, accidentally meets Edward, Prince of Wales (also Lester), and they are struck by their similiarity of appearance. After switching clothes as a practical joke, they are unexpectedly separated and forced to take on the other's life. Everything goes completely haywire when the King suddenly dies, leaving Tom to inherit the throne while Edward must convince the people that he is really the new King of England.
