Edward De Souza is Parolles and Clive Swift is the King of France.] The young and virtuous physicians daughter Helena desperately loves Count Bertram, but he regards her as beneath his notice. When Helena cures the King of France of a mortal illness, he rewards her with Bertram's hand, but before their marriage can be consummated the Count flees.
