The King's Thief (1955)

In the shadowy corridors of power, the cunning Duke of Brampton weaves a web of deceit, using his influence over King Charles II to falsely accuse noble patriots of treason for his own insidious gain. As the Duke amasses wealth by ruthlessly confiscating the fortunes of the executed nobles, he also deprives the King's soldiers of their rightful pay, driving some to the desperate life of crime. Amidst this treachery, the courageous Lady Mary emerges, her heart aflame with a mission to restore the honor of her unjustly executed father. Her quest leads her to the tumultuous streets of London, straight into the path of the audacious highwayman, Michael Dermott. A former soldier turned rogue due to the Duke's deceit, Dermott possesses a stolen treasure: the Duke's secret notebook, revealing a damning list of targeted victims. Bound by shared destiny and a burning desire for justice, Lady Mary and Dermott form an unlikely alliance. They hatch a daring plan to steal the Crown Jewels, not for wealth, but to secure an audience with the unsuspecting monarch. With the jewels held for ransom, they aim to expose the Duke's treachery and ensure the safety of the future victims. However, the Duke, desperate to reclaim his notebook and maintain his nefarious control, is hot on their trail. He will stop at nothing to thwart Mary and Dermott's mission, setting the stage for a thrilling chase of wits, deceit, and audacious courage. The King's Thief is a vibrant tableau of resilience, justice, and unexpected alliances, where honor is the ultimate prize, and the Crown Jewels merely a pawn in the game of thrones.
