George has once again made a muck of things. He's slept with BOTH of the Duke of Wellington's nieces and Wellington has a famously terrible sense of honor. When Wellington finds out, he challenges the Price Regent to a duel. George asks Edmund to pose as him and fight the duel--and surely die in the process. Edmund has a plan, however, to use his seriously deranged cousin, McAdder, to fight instead--as McAdder is a homicidal maniac. Unfortunately, Wellington arrives before Edmund can make arrangements for McAdder to take his place, so Edmund himself poses as the Regent at their meeting. Fortunately, this first meeting is to discuss the war as well as plan for their upcoming duel--not actually yet fight the duel. So, so far Edmund is safe.
So what happens next? Well, I'd love to say more but it might spoil the fun. Suffice to say, the Regent gets the snot knocked out of him...and worse. And, unusually, things actually work out great in the end--something you'd never expect from a Blackadder series! A bit silly, but rewarding.
