Paulo is put in charge of a large sum of money by his rich uncle, under the condition that he will use it to build a retirement home for the elderly in need. Instead, he uses it to buy a nightclub. His uncle, who lives in another State, comes to visit him and inspect the construction works. He brings his beautiful young adopted daughter with him. Paulo lodges his uncle at a friend's house, pretending it is his.
This is a very conventional musical comedy, very short on comicity, but with above average actors, most noteworthy among them the great Procópio Ferreira. Also, one of the musical numbers is very good, both musically and cinematically: it is a fantasy on the Carnival march Mamãe Eu Quero, with orchestration and arrangement by Pachequinho (José Pacheco Lins).
