When King Richard II is dethroned and King Henry IV ascends to the throne, his heir, the Prince of Wales, is befriended by Sir John Falstaff, an old, overweight, fun-loving habitual liar. Through Falstaffs eyes we see the reign of King Henry IV and the rise of Henry V.
Sir John Falstaff (Orson Welles) is the hero in this compilation of extracts from Shakespeares "Henry IV" and other plays, made into a connected story of Falstaffs career as young Prince Hals (Keith Baxters) drinking companion. The massive Knight roisters with and without the Prince, philosophizes comically, goes to war (in his own fashion), and meets his final disappointment, set in a real-looking late medieval England.
