Popular French comedian Tramel plays a dual role in the hectic comedy Barranco. Actually, Tramel is the same person throughout; he just pretends to be two different people. Arrested for vagrancy, our hero is set free when it is learned that he has inherited a valuable silver mine in Mexico. Though he doubts that he's the genuine heir, Tramel plays the role to the hilt, adopting a pretty daughter and investing his millions in a can't-miss stock deal. When the deal does miss, Tramel is rescued by the timely arrival of his level-headed nephew, who ends up marrying the foster daughter.
