Charged by his father, George V of Britain, to give a speech on the newly invented radio, the Duke of York stutters his way through it unsuccessfully. After this fiasco, his loving wife decides to find a specialist to help him with his stammer. A few are consulted, tried out and found wanting, and finally the choice rests with a failed Shakespearean actor turned speech therapist with a shabby practice, who insists on treating this elite member of the royal family as an equal, going so far as to call him "Bertie"...
