Cuenta cómo Rudolf Rassendyll, un joven inglés pelirrojo y con una llamativa nariz puntiaguda, rasgos que se asemejan curiosamente a los de algunos miembros de la familia real de Ruritaria, va a este reino con el propósito de ver (More) la coronación del nuevo Rey, su primo lejano. Pero cuando el Rey es capturado por su traidor hermano durante la víspera de su coronación, únicamente Rudolf puede rescatarlo. Por ser físicamente, incluso en la voz, exactamente igual al Rey, los partidarios de éste lo hacen pasar por tal ante el pueblo, ya que el Rey, por un descuido, no puede llegar a tiempo para la coronación. Pero Rudolf no pretende usurpar el trono, sino tan sólo cumplir la misión de salvar al Rey. Todo sucede de tal modo que sólo un pequeño grupo de personas llega a conocer la sustitución. Arrojado a una serie de aventuras que van más allá de sus más alocados sueños, Rudolf lucha para vencer a sus enemigos, y a la vez se enamora de la hermosísima princesa Flavia, quien está prometida con el Rey. Finalmente Rudolf consigue liberar a su primo, el verdadero rey, pero no consigue quedarse con la princesa pese al amor que los dos sienten, ya que Rudolf Rassendyll decide volver a Inglaterra, porque tiene la conciencia de que su misión ha sido cumplida y la princesa no le pertenece.
