Overview
Cantinflas, the boyfriend of the servant of a rich industrial man, gets into the house in order to kill a mad dog. Suddenly this man appears so the servant tells him that Cantinflas is his wife's brother (Leonardo), who had been lost for years. The rich man then remembers that his father in law's testament could only be paid when all brothers get together, so treats Cantinflas, a real bum, as a king.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A spiraling comedy of mistaken identity where a lovable drifter gets pulled into a wealthy family's schemes through pure accident. It's built on the kind of escalating confusion where everyone keeps lying to protect something, and the jokes come from watching how far the deception can go.
