Michael Powell's third film as director, My Friend the King - another comedy starring Jerry Verno - was finished and on release while editing took place on the just-completed Rynox. The unlikely plot concerning a kidnapped young Ruritanian prince and a London taxi driver, masquerading as a countess the taxi driver rescues the nine-year-old ruler from revolutionaries led by Count Huelin. During his first year as a feature director, Powell worked on five pictures. 'They couldn't all ... be good and they weren't', he later wrote, considering this 'a very weak story ... I only remember it as a complete failure'.
