As Marin takes in the sight of women dressed scantily, he becomes an oddity himself when guests ogle at his peasant garb. Unbeknownst to them, their worlds are about to be turned upside down with the arrival of American billionaire, Mr. Juvett, who is also the father of a kidnapped girl and carrying a sizable ransom.As rival gangsters plot to steal the million-dollar ransom meant for Juvett, they inadvertently follow Marin around the hotel, mistaking him for his wealthy counterpart due to their striking difference in appearance.
