Plot

Princess Candy is sick and tired of doing all the hard work she has to do as the temporary ruler of Udrogoth, so she just quits and gives the whole job to Dave. Dave starts to make a few laws

His first law -- Everyone in the kingdom gets to wear whatever they want on Friday

His second law -- Once a day every week is Udrogoth Pride Day, everyone in the kingdom has to wear Udrogoth's colours on that day.

His third law -- the power starts to rush to his head and he forces everyone to shave cats, because he is allergic to cat hair.

His fourth law -- After feeling bad over his third law he decides to make it up to his kingdom, by making a law everyone has to attend the premiere to his musical "Oh, Pastry!". Everyone has to attend it, it doesn't matter if you're the guards, you still have to attend. Even the invaders have to attend.

This is when the Dark Lord Chuckles the Silly Piggy hatches his new plan, while Dave is out of the kingdom performing his musical, the Dark Lord Chuckles sits on the throne and becomes the new king. His first law is no musical theatre.

After a battle between Dave the Barbarian and Dark Lord Chuckles the Silly Piggy, Chuckles almost wins, but the peasants join forces and drive Chuckles out of the kingdom (via catapult), because they felt that Dave was a better king even if they did make them all watch such an awful play.

The Dark Lord Chuckles the Silly Piggy lands on a haystack, he rejoices at how lucky he was...but then Dave (who was ejected via catapult through the town for performing the final bit of the musical) lands on him, squashing him like a pancake.

Trivia

This episode reveals Udrogoth's colors to be red, a slightly darker red and a red which is a lot like the first except salmony
