A young aspiring actress is excessively clumsy. She wants her uncle to sponsor a new TV show where she would have a part. Her friends set up a scheme where one of them, a clown, will pose as a TV executive.
There's not much of a plot in this musical comedy, and not many laughs either. The director had talent, and could work with very little and still produce something of interest, but this was early in his filmography and the material was extremely poor. The best moment, I suppose, is the musical number "Conceição" with the singer who made that song famous. But for those who have some historical curiosity, it is also interesting to see Brazilian actors, some well known to this date and others virtually forgotten today. Like Procopinho, whose real name was Francisco Ferreira but tried to ride on his brother's fame by borrowing his name. Or Madame Lou, a French-born choreographer and actress whose real name was Hélène Youkhnovsky (née Pierrot). Among others.
