Mr French is approached by movie producers who want to cast him as Henry VIII.
This is a highly entertaining episode for French. The movie producer is played by Joe Flynn (Capt Binghamton from "McHale's Navy"). French at first refuses the offer but Bill convinces him to take it. Henry VIII was a very popular character in film around this time with actors like Robert Shaw ("A Man For All Seasons") and Richard Burton ("Anne Of A Thousand Days") playing him. Sebastian Cabot looks just like him in costume. Bill finds out the producers makes low budget junk and not the regal historical epic French thinks it will be. Bill sees a rough cut of the film and this is the funniest scene as a belly dancer, sound effects and French singing a speeded up version of "Greensleeves" is in the film. Bill tries to stop the film from being shown.
