The Whipping Boy background

The Whipping Boy

In a tale of royalty and resilience, a pampered prince's constant pranks aim to win the approval of his distant and neglectful father, while a scrappy young orphan, desperate to provide for his sister, navigates the treacherous streets in search of a better life.

The king of a small kingdom hopes his lazy and unruly heir will behave for the sake of his whipping boy, a commoner he had unfairly arrested. However, the prince's antics only lead to trouble, and he flees the palace with the commoner. Along the way, the prince learns to appreciate the commoner's resourcefulness and grows up a little. Meanwhile, the king realizes that neglecting his son's emotional needs is the root of his misbehavior.
