The cleverly written plot is suitable for Kaye's talent.

If Danny Kaye doesn't find you wishing you had a gun on you, this is one of his better efforts.

See Errol Flynn in Robin Hood — and then see Kaye in Court Jester. The former is the ultimate swashbuckler; the latter the ultimate swashbuckler spoof.
