The King and The Duke tries various scam such as 'The Royal Nonesuch' scam and are also involved in falsely pretending to the British uncles to make money from the people in river towns.

Explanation:

The Duke and the King is a story from one of Mark Twain's novel, 'Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.' From the novel we get to know that when Huck rescues Duck and the King, both of them travel downstream by taking control of the raft. And along the river, both of them cheats people in different towns for making money.

Both, the Duke and the King involves in what they called 'The Royal Nonesuch' scam where they fool people and earns a good amount of over 400$. Apart from this, both the men cheats dead Peter Wilks's family by one pretending to be a British preacher and the other playing the role of a deaf-mute person, William.
