In "Cue for Treason," the Yellow Gentlemen are trying to steal the script of William Shakespeare's play "Richard III" to sell it to a rival company. They believe that having the script will give them an advantage in the theatre business.
The resolution of "Cue for Treason" involves Kit and Peter successfully foiling a plot to assassinate Queen Elizabeth I, ultimately clearing their names. They are rewarded for their bravery and loyalty, with Peter becoming a squire and Kit finding a new path in her life. The story ends with the two of them parting ways, each embarking on a new adventure.
The conspirators behind the plot to kill Queen Elizabeth I in the Cato Street Conspiracy were led by Arthur Thistlewood. Thistlewood and his group were upset about the lack of political reform and planned to assassinate the queen and her ministers. The plot was foiled by authorities before it could be carried out.
