Episode synopsis
While traveling over Montravia, the Aurora crashes and the local constabulary mistakes Passepartout for King Carl V, for whom he is a dead ringer. Carl is a lackabout, and they need a king who will go through the proper actions and sign a treaty. Passepartout agrees, with Phileas and Jules playing the role of his valets. Meanwhile, Rebecca tracks down the true king and imparts a few important lessons. Meanwhile, Lord Tyrol is working with the King's fiance to take the throne for himself. When Jules reveals the deception to her, she informs Tyrol and he attacks. Carl and Passepartout team up to take down Tyrol together.
About The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne
The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne is a 22-episode science fiction television series in the steampunk genre that first aired in June 2000 on CBC Television in Canada and in syndication in the United States. The plot concept is predicated on a vast fictional conspiracy beginning with the revelation that Jules Verne did not merely write the stories behind his famous science fiction classic books Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Center of the Earth or Around the World in Eighty Days — but actually experienced these adventures personally. A television technological historic footnote, this work was the first hour-long series filmed entirely in HDTV format.
