- A man comes in and hands King George some papers for a speech he must give to rally his people and his armed forces for war.
- The speech will run around nine minutes, which is way longer than George has ever had to speak. He asks for Logue immediately.
- Logue and his son drive straight to where George is waiting.
- Logue shows up only forty minutes before the king has to give his broadcast because the streets are in chaos after the announcement of war.
- Logue tries to help, but George is really flustered. He has no clue why his country would support someone like him.
- While practicing his speech, King George starts dancing around the room and swearing his way through his speech, using every trick in the book to try and get through it.
- George walks into the room for his broadcast and greets Neville Chamberlain (current Prime Minister) and Winston Churchill (who will become Prime Minster later during the war).
- As George walks to his broadcast booth, Churchill walks with him and talks of how he once had a speech impediment too. But he found a way to turn it into a unique speaking style.
- When they get into the recording room, George finds that Logue has completely enclosed the place in blankets to make it feel safe and isolated from the outside world.
- The countdown to going on air begins. George tells Logue that no matter how things turn out, he doesn't know how to thank him.
- Logue suggests knighthood and tells George to forget everything else and to say the speech to Logue as a friend.
- And just like that, George begins his speech.
- He ends up getting through the speech with success, with Logue coaching him through word by word.
- He tells the people that it has become impossible to let Hitler continue rampaging across the world and that they must stop him.
- The speech ends and the people running the broadcast start applauding. Logue tells George that he did a great job, although he still stammered a bit.
- George jokes that he had to do it to remind people that it was him speaking.
- George walks out into a room full of applause. He sits at his desk and gets his photo taken.
- He tells Logue that he'll probably have to do many more wartime speeches, then thanks him again as a friend.
- George's wife comes in and tells him, "I knew you'd be good" and she thanks Lionel warmly.
- George hugs his daughters, who tell him he was halting at first but got much better as the speech went on. Now that's some honest feedback.
- George walks out to a balcony, where thousands of people cheer him from the streets.
- The screen fades to black.
- Then a disclaimer pops up to tell us, "King George VI made Lionel Logue a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order in 1944." The Royal Victorian Order is the only form of honor that rewards an act of personal service to the king or queen.
- We also find out that Logue would go on to attend King George for every one of his wartime speeches. And through his speeches, George VI became "a symbol of national resistance."
- Oh yeah, and Lionel and the King remained friends for the rest of their lives.
