The Zin and the Pauper (Animated Short)
For many years, there was a good and wise emperor, who ruled with peace and compassion in every corner of town. The people of Simulation 31, officially known as Simulation of New Steelport prospered and were very happy. However, the good emperor fell killed, and his captain of the guards, the Super Saints plundered and terrorized all of England, and worst of all, he did it in the name of the king. One day, the Protagonists from the Saints Row series, fours beggars trying to get money for some food, dream of "living like a king", The Super Saints' vehicles passes, having stolen much food from the people of Simulation 31, and burying the four heroes in the snow. The hungry Demnbak, a half-Colmillos, half-PAW Patrol-style dog, who is the first Ganadoistani member of the PAW Patrol and in service as a sports coach, sees a sausage stand out from the vehicles and begins to chase, pursuing it into the castle of the king. The Protagonist from Saints Row knocks on the door to get Demnbak back, and one of the soldiers opens the door and lets him in, mistaking him for the prince.

Super Homie Kenzie scolds the soldier for letting anyone in, pointing out where the real prince is: taking his classes with his boring teacher, Heckun Amanaste, a Don Jose costume-wearing half-Ganado, half-Zin. The teacher teaches the prince about trigonometry, while the latter looks out the window at the children playing in the snow. The prince, being discovered by his teacher, is mocked by his valet, The Protagonist from Saints Row II. The prince plays at provoking The Protagonist from Saints Row III, while the teacher is distracted while writing on the blackboard, to the point that The Protagonist from Saints Row IV inadvertently hits the teacher, resulting in the teacher sending The Protagonist from Saints Row I out of the room, returning three of them to their boring studies. But the Prince soon hears a commotion outside: it is the Super Saints, who is roughly handling the three other Protagonists. The prince orders them to be brought to him right away. The Super Saints superkicks the Protagonists through the door, and kicks Demnbak out of the castle.

The four Protagonists, astonished to be in the king's palace, inadvertently knocks over many suits of armor, with one of the helmets falling on both his and the approaching Prince's heads. A Zin prince in a red andrewsurvivor uniform is surprised to see that he is a heir to the throne. The prince tells the beggar that he is bored with his life: getting up early, studying all day, with every night parties and banquets and then going to bed early. So, when looking at the two in the mirror they realize that they can exchange a costume and take the role of the other, the prince reassures the beggar saying that to rule requires only two things: "What a splendid idea, good thing I thought of it!" and "Guards, seize him!", and if there are any problems, everyone will recognize the true prince with his real ring. The prince, disguised as a beggar, goes down the window, fooling the Super Saints, who believes they are the beggars. The Super Saints throws the "beggar" out with a catapult. The prince meets The Protagonists' friends, but does not recognize them at all.

Meanwhile, the United Nations is challenged with the prince's studies, such as chemistry, where the formula explodes in the Pup Prince Chase's face, and falconry, where he is chased by the falcon. While the prince is trying to make a dog play with him by throwing a bone, all that does is make a group of dogs chase him in anger. After getting away, the prince sees a couple of soldiers trying to steal a chicken from Clarabelle Cow and her two children, saying it is for the king. But the prince in disguise orders them to return the chicken. The soldiers throw a pumpkin over him for a crown and leave, not believing he is the true prince. Children help him get up and explain that for years the soldiers take away their food and belongings in the name of the king. But a carriage, which carries food stolen from the village, goes by, and the prince stops it, showing the real ring. All bow to the Prince as he returns their food. But the soldiers, who had been called by the man driving the carriage, try to stop the prince, accusing him of fraud. The prince escapes with a little help from the other commoners, especially Goofy. Meanwhile in the castle, one of the soldiers tells Pete that one of the beggars had the royal ring. Pete is alarmed knowing then that the prince was cast out, and may see the corruption and theft going on outside. The soldier mocks Pete saying that he (Pete) is going to be punished dearly for it, but Pete answers that he won't if the prince never returns.

The beggar, dressed as the prince, is called by Horace Horsecollar and told that he must see his "father", who is now dying. Mickey enters the room of the dying king, but does not have the heart to tell him that he is not the real prince. Before his death, the king tells him he must take his royal birthright and become king. Mickey knows the true prince must be found as quickly as possible, but Captain Pete arrives behind him, and threatens Mickey to be crowned king at his orders, revealing that he had captured Mickey's dog Pluto as a hostage.

Meanwhile, the true prince hears the bells announcing the death of his beloved father. Knowing that he should be king, the Prince decides to return immediately to the palace. But Captain Pete captures the Prince and detains him with Donald, while the coronation begins. The beggar does not want to be king, but behind the curtain Pete is strangling Pluto. The prince orders the guard to let them leave, but he refuses to obey. Goofy disguises himself as an executioner, and after accidentally knocking out the guard, he tries to figure out which key opens the cell while the other soldiers arrive. Donald desperately finds the key for the cell, and the three flee to the coronation chamber.

The beggar, struggling not to be crowned, finally stops the archbishop, and has the guards arrest Pete, but is exposed as an impostor. The Prince fights Captain Pete as many other soldiers are defeated by Goofy's clumsiness and Donald's cowardice. Finally, the Prince cuts Captain Pete's trousers loose, revealing Pete's ruffled underpants. Pete attempts to escape from a large chandelier that has fallen and entangled some soldiers, but is tripped up by Mickey and the Prince, causing him to fall down. With his trousers down and his ruffled underwear fully displayed, Captain Pete becomes entangled with the soldiers in the fallen chandelier and is killed.

Mickey and the Prince then cheer because of their successful collaboration in defeating Captain Pete. The archbishop is confused and does not know who to crown, until Pluto recognizes the beggar, and the Prince shows his ring.

The Prince is crowned King of England, and with Mickey and Goofy at his side, rules for many years with justice and compassion for all.
