Jon has won a free trip to England and is looking forward to a relaxing vacation with the love of his life, Liz Wilson. Meanwhile, a lookalike of Garfield, a cat named Duchess's offspring, Lord Winston Bottomley-Shelby III, escapes from a castle in the countryside and finds Garfield instead of the real monarch. Due to a case of mistaken identity, the British aristocracy mistakenly believe the American cat to be Winston, the rightful heir to the Bottomley-Shelby title.

Garfield enjoys his new life at the castle, feasting on lavish meals and receiving the finest luxuries available. The two cats quickly become inseparable, with Lady Margaret showering Garfield with affection and attention. However, not everyone is pleased with Garfield's newfound status.

Dargis becomes aware of Garfield's mistake and sees an opportunity to exploit the situation to his advantage. He begins conspiring against Garfield, plotting to expose the truth and gain control of the castle and its assets. Meanwhile, back in the United States, Liz becomes concerned about Jon's prolonged absence and sets out to locate him in England.
