The Beggar Prince is a lost[1][2] 1920 film directed by William Worthington and produced by Sessue Hayakawa's Haworth Pictures Corporation.

[3][4][5][6][7] An island is ruled by a prince (Sessue Hayakawa) who mistakenly believes he can control the moon and the sea.

A fisherman (also played by Sessue Hayakawa) sees the prince harassing the girl and knocks him out, swaps clothes with him and takes over the role as leader of the country.

After some time the fisherman feels guilty and returns the throne to the cast-out prince.

The prince has found a peaceful way of life and both men marry the women they love.
