The plot involves the orphan Jemmy, who must take the whippings for the royal heir, Prince Brat. Jemmy plans to flee this arrangement until Prince Brat beats him to it, and takes Jemmy along.

The Prince and his whipping boy escaped the castle. The whipping boy is the person that gets all of the Prince's whippings if he does something bad. On their journey they run into an outlaw. They are in trouble and need to go somewhere safe. Will they escape?
I loved it because the author did a very good job writing it.
