The premise
Here’s the bit.
The Court of Historical Law hears a complaint from the future Peter III of Russia, who accuses a rat of destroying one of his soldiers. The judge tries to make sense of the evidence as Peter produces a witness from his collection of toy troops. Treating damage to his miniature army as a military offence, Peter presses ahead with a trial and reveals that he has prepared an equally miniature punishment.
