Synopsis

On their way home with a cargo for Alderman Fitzwarren, the Captain and his Bosun ran into pirates who stole their ship and cargo, and then sailed away, leaving them on the deserted pirate’s ship which had no cargo, but in the Captain’s cabin they found Princess Lulu, the daughter of the King of Morocco. 

Lulu is not like a normal princess, in fact she’s more like Sarah Smelling, the Dame (but is a separate character). In the meantime, Dick Whittington arrives in London to find his fortune and make friends with a cat, Felix. 

With the intervention of King Rat, Dick gets himself into a bit of bother which disappoints Alice Fitzwarren. But with the magic of the Fairy, Dick promises to take Princess Lulu back to Morocco, kill King Rat and bring back a fortune for Alderman Fitzwarren so that he (Dick) can marry Alice. 

The King of Morocco though had thought he’d got rid of his less beautiful daughter, Lulu, but like a bad penny, she’s back. Or is she? 

Idle Jack and Lulu seem to have grown close and discuss that if they marry, whether they should take Jack’s name of Smelling, or the Royal name of Buzzbuttock, or maybe hyphenate their names to Smelling-Buzzbuttock!
