A clumsy mailman who writes songs in his spare time and is six months late in his rent payment gets an odd job as a magician's assistant for one night. It so happens that said magician is the leader of a gang of jewelry robbers, who is nicknamed the Masked One by the newspapers. Also coincidentally, our mailman is delivering a letter at the exact time and place of a robbery by the Masked One. He is grabbed by the hoodlums and tied up. They leave him in a sort of warehouse, from which he escapes. After a series of chases and fights, the bad guys are unmasked (in one case, literally) and the mailman receives a large reward.
Mediocre comedy with some musical numbers. The main actor was trained as a circus acrobat. His character's girlfriend is played by a famous chorus girl at the time. This seems to be her only film. The film possesses a great deal of movement (perhaps this is what is meant by its title). Among the musical numbers, the most attractive one is Valsa de uma Cidade, which shows several beautiful landscapes of Rio de Janeiro.
