The treasury is empty, so king Franz Ferdinand borrows Alfred's charity money for a month, on the pretext that he can earn more through interests. After three months nothing has been repaid and Alfred, accompanied by some bees, goes to try and collect his money, but the court tries to stop him.
Tropes:
- Animated Adaptation: This episode is specifically based on Herman van Veen's original play, just like the episodes about Alfred's fight against K. Rokodil's fishing business were based on comic books that were published before the cartoon was made, though it omits several more surreal elements and some characters.
- Deadly Decadent Court: They aren't that deadly, but king Franz's court is very decadent.
- Dub Name Change: In the finnish dub sir Poen van Kale Koen has his name changed to sir Ruupertti.
- Informed Species: The bees don't look much like bees.
- Villainous Glutton: The court wastes Alfred's money on food. More specifically,the hippo and the frog eat large pieces of cake with their bare hands, straight from the cake, the archbishop is slurping three drinks at once, and king Franz is eating junk food.
- Just Following Orders: Sir Poen's defense when the bees attack him.
