Synopsis

 

Five angry plotters meet in 1604 in the Duck and Drake. The music is laud and Robert Catesby has to shout his plan to the other plotters in order to be heard. There is some confusion as to what the plan is. Just as Catesby shouts that he wants to kill the King the music stops. Well, so much for secrecy.

Guy Fawkes places barrels of gunpowder under the House of Lords and all's ready; but, one of the conspirators sends an anonymous letter to his brother-in-law, Lord Monteagle warning him to avoid the opening of Parliament. The letter ends up in the hands of the cunning Robert Cecil, the King's First Minister and Spy Master. Poor King James needs help to work out that the letter means his life is in danger. Robert Cecil is tasked with saving the King and promptly falls asleep for nine days on the throne.

Finally, a search of the Parliament is ordered, and the barrels of gunpowder and Guy Fawkes are discovered. Guy Fawkes is now sent to the Tower and questioned by a Cockney Torturer who has an unusual way of making him talk. The other plotters have failed to get support for their rebellion and bravely charge the King's soldiers. The plot is over and the unfortunate Guy Fawkes faces a nasty end. (All done in a humorous way suitable for the age group.)
