Tom Canty, a poor beggar boy who lives with his abusive father, trades places with Prince Edward, the son of King Henry VIII and the royal heir to the throne.

God is planning to flood the world, but he doesn't want this to be the end, he wants to make sure that it can be re-populated when the floodwaters recede. So he calls on Noah and tells him to build a boat, a boat big enough to carry two members - one male, one female - of every animal species on earth. Noah complies and when the rains begin, he and his family round up the animals and commence their voyage.
