The Last King of Scotland is reckoned by Saxon devils to be King George VI. He also happened to be King of England, Wales, Northern Ireland and a few other places as well, but he did not care for Scotland. The true Last King of Scotland was a Stuart: Bonnie Prince Charlie. He had a truly strange name but he was still King. The then-King of England, King William III, denounced Bonnie's claim to the throne as he had heard that Bonnie was a Jacobite pretender. A Jacobite pretender is someone who pretends to be called Jacob. This led to questions being raised about Bonnie's real sex considering he had a girl's name.

Soon Idi Amin descends from (seemingly) being an Anti-Hero and Affably Evil to a Bad Boss, The Caligula and a Complete Monster. Nicholas Garrigan plays the role of a Wide-Eyed Idealist, first by overlooking a lot of Amin's bloodthirsty antics by convincing himself that it is necessary to bring peace to Uganda, and believing that things would get better as Amin's enemies are eliminated. Unsurprisingly, he is wrong. It does not help that he falls in love with Amin's youngest and discarded wife Kay, which soon leads him in a confrontation.
