The premise is loosely based on The Prince and the Pauper. A foreign prince is visiting Brazil for a trade agreement. However, he is more interested in enjoying the Brazilian Carnival. He switches places with a local lookalike. Concurrently, some Republicans are plotting to kill the prince.
Musical comedy. This is strictly routine, with no visible distinction from the many other comedies which were produced in Brazil in the 1950s and early 1960s. Some famous singers of that era perform numbers, and the comicity is bland and predictable as usual. But there is some liveliness to the proceedings which makes it watchable.
