## Episode summary

The episode begins at Castle Leonardo, as Tommy shamelessly antagonizes Milly and Many, confident in that moment he will never be on good terms with them. Just then, Miss Yuubin shows up and gives Tommy a letter, and after he skims it over, he immediately changes his attitude and begs the kids for help, explaining the letter is from his older brother Albert. He explains to the kids that he had been "stretching the truth" in letters to his brother, telling him that he had been made king of Usapia instead of merely being a king's lackey. He reveals to the kids and their parents that Albert is planning on visiting Castle Leonardo, and begs them to pretend he is the king while he is around. The court family resists at this initially, but Sir Chanter agrees to give it a shot for Albert's sake. They then appoint Leeko to accompany Albert during his trip to Usapia, since he has no chance of blowing Tommy's cover.

Out on the road to Usapia, Milly, Manny, and Leeko find Albert and Leeko goes to greet him. Leeko hands him a note given to him by Tommy for him to read, which acts to continue the charade. After introducing himself to Leeko, a gust of wind picks up and carries Albert's parasol off, but Leeko finds a large leaf to use as a parasol and gives it to him. Meanwhile, down in Puffy Town, Tommy, Sir Chanter, and Lady Chanter manage to get the town in on the charade just in time for Albert to arrive in town. The residents set up a greeting ceremony for him as he arrives. Tomme himself arrives wearing a hastily-improvised crown, having Sir Chanter drive him in using the Tank car. As the two brothers embrace, the Puffies comment on how different they look and Tommy nearly fumbles his speech to them, getting bossed around by his brother in the process, which entertains the crowd.

Tommy proceeds to give Albert a tour of the kingdom, starting with Peppermint's Table, then moving on to Professor Antico's shop, the police headquarters, and Leeko's house, as various comments are exchanged to prop up the charade. As the group enjoys some cookies, Albert spots the castle and requests to be taken there next. Tommy panics for a bit, since King Leonardo is not likely to take up the charade, but Milly and Manny pull him together. As they travel to the castle, King Leonardo is searching for Tommy, and finds him once he arrives in the courtyard. He is set to blow Tommy's cover right away, but is taken aback when he sees Albert with him. Milly then covers for Tommy, explaining that King Leonardo is playing as king as part of his role as court jester. Albert buys this due to the king's mannerisms, and gives "Jester Leonardo" a bag of cookies as the group continues their tour.

As the tour proceeds through the castle, Moonlight Man and his apprentices gawk at the situation and a dinner is hosted in the banquet hall. King Leonardo barges in, furious that he wasn't invited to the table, and becomes more and more upset at Albert's insistence on him being the jester. King Leonardo just loses it, but Milly pulls him aside and tells him what they are trying to do. King Leonardo agrees to play along, but in his own way. That night, another banquet is held at the castle which the whole town is invited to. King Leonardo plays along at first, but he soon starts to turn the table on Tommy by revealing some of the bad schemes he has been involved with, like helping King Leonardo send monsters after the townsfolk. He then prompts a "rainstorm" and gives everyone a purple/black umbrella. After turning off the downpour, all of the umbrellas come to life, revealing themselves to be Parasouls which attack their holders.

With this attack, King Leonardo prompts Tommy to admit to his brother that he was only pretending in order to avoid responsibility for the Parasouls. Against his expectations, Albert forgives Tommy for the charade and condemns King Leonardo for the attack. Leonardo retaliates by sending some Parasouls after them, but Leeko steps in to vacuum-mouth them and gains the Parasol ability. Parasol Leeko then battles against the remaining Parasouls and captures King Leonardo using the Circus Throw move. King Leonardo is tossed into one of the fireworks cones and gets launched into the air, where he tries to use his last Parasoul to float down, but it is ruined by additional fireworks and he falls out of the castle grounds. The next morning, Tommy, Leeko, Milly, and Manny see Albert off. As soon as Albert is out of sight, Tommy quickly reverts to his normal snarky behavior and returns to the castle amid complaints from the kids. The episode ends with Leeko by himself on the roadside waving to the viewers.
