Synopsis
In the Cavalcade of America episode Dr. Franklin Goes to Court, we are transported back to the year 1776, where Benjamin Franklin and John Adams find themselves at a small inn in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The two men, tasked with a crucial diplomatic mission, are forced to share a cramped room with only one bed, leading to humorous exchanges about their discomfort. As they settle in, the weight of their mission looms large: to negotiate peace with British Commander Lord Howe amid the tumult of the American Revolution.
