The King of Comedians!
A recently-deposed "Estrovian" monarch seeks shelter in New York City, where he becomes an accidental television celebrity. Later, he's wrongly accused of being a Communist and gets caught up in subsequent HUAC hearings.
German (Deutsch)
Eine Revolution treibt König Shadhov von Estrovia aus seinem Land. Er flieht nach Amerika. Sein Premierminister war fürsorglich genug, den Staatsschatz mitgehen zu lassen. Allerdings setzt er sich über Nacht mit dem ganzen Geld nach Südamerika ab und lässt den König mittellos in New York zurück. Shadhov erlebt den lauten Trubel der schönen neuen Welt, die sich gerade den Verrücktheiten der Rock'n Roll-Dekade und der Hexenjagd auf unamerikanische Elemente hingibt.

- a.k.a. Un roi à New-York
Chassé de son pays, l'Estrovie, le roi Shahdov a choisi, comme des millions d'exilés avant lui, de se réfugier aux États-Unis, la nouvelle Terre promise. Dès son arrivée, les autorités prennent ses empreintes digitales. Les déboires du roi déchu ne font que commencer. Il fait la connaissance d'Ann Kay, qui travaille à la télévision, et participe bientôt, contre son gré, à une vulgaire émission publicitaire. Plus tard, visitant une maison de redressement, il se lie d'amitié avec un malheureux gamin doué d'une conscience politique précoce. Cette rencontre, elle non plus, ne lui portera pas chance…
Italian (Italiano)
Dopo essere stato deposto da una rivoluzione marxista, un Re europeo viene esiliato negli Stati Uniti, la patria della democrazia e della libertà. Oltreoceano però finisce ben presto nella rete della Commissione per le attività antiamericane.
