The film was released on March 5, 1990, along with The Rescuers Down Under. It's runtime was approximately 24 minutes. It features a pauper Mickey Mouse, in blue clothing, that yearns to live just like a prince while a prince Mickey Mouse, in red clothing, wants to live just like a pauper. They first meet in an armory, where the prince and the pauper exchange places. While the prince leaves the castle to hang out with the pauper's companion, Goofy, Pete and his minions takes the pauper to the dungeon with Donald Duck, forcing him to comply with his orders while holding his dog hostage. The pauper is later about to be crowned king before the true prince interrupts the ceremony, fighting against Pete and his weasel guards. As the prince, pauper, Goofy, and Donald ensure a final battle against Pete and his guards, they soon defeat them by tangling them in a chandelier, which later rolls and falls out a window. It ends with the prince being crowned.
