The story

What Is The Queen was in the Parlor About?

The premise of The Queen was in the Parlor without spoilers.

The final Goopy Geer cartoon opens with the king returning to his castle and asking where the queen is; the title song tells us she’s hidden in the parlor. He takes his seat on the throne and summons his jester, Goopy Geer. When a black knight bursts in and threatens a young lady, Goopy battles him, first wielding an axe, then donning improvised armor fashioned from kitchen utensils, and finally charging the knight with a mounted animal head that shatters the foe’s armor. Defeated, the knight gathers himself and retreats.
