Chicken a la King (1919)
The King of a small principality dies, and upon consulting the records in an effort to find the next in line to assume the throne and marry the pretty princess a picture of a man in uniform is found, with a brief record of his fighting achievements. The address is somewhere in America and a cablegram is dispatched forthwith. The uniform that they thought designated a soldier was deceiving, for the original of the portrait is now found to be a policeman, with a wife and several children. Upon receiving the cablegram, however, he beats it to a liner to hasten to claim the throne. A young reporter with whom he has had several quarrels takes the same boat to visit the principality ad joining the one which has summoned the policeman to take the throne. They do not meet on the boat, but each finally arrives at his destination. The two principalities are in a state of war, and Eddie, the reporter, and Lee, the policeman-heir to the throne, are immediately involved in a series of court intrigues. Just at the moment that Lee is about to marry the princess and thus secure his right to the throne, his wife and children, who have followed him on the next boat, appear and hustle him away, while Eddie, who has fallen in love with the princess, marries her and is crowned king.
