Or either, "this story is about the King and I."
1. *I read The King and Me yesterday.
2. I read The King and I yesterday.
Reminds me of not declining hoi polloi when used as a direct or indirect object.
I have always thought that the usage between Mary and I was simple hypercorrection. It is different from "Me and Mary went downtown last night."
