Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Per the title, this film deals with the misadventures of three Argentine friends at large in Gay Paree. Ricardo (Hugo del Carril) is an aspiring artist; Ocampo (Florencio Parravicini) is a tour guide; and Pedernera (Tito Lusiardo) is a confidence trickster. While Ricardo pursues a romance with Angela (Irina Corboba), adopted daughter of a bankrupt businessman, his two pals set about to fleece a nouveau riche Argentinian tourist. The plot takes an unexpected turn when Ocampo learns that Angela is actually his daughter. And that's only the first of several delightful surprises in this consistently inventive and entertaining film.
