the world, is required to take the post of caretaker at a luxury
Parisian hotel. He meets up with his childhood friend Serge
Luyperts, a disillusioned lemonade magnate who lives with his

psychopathic tendencies. The three friends plan to pull off the
scam of the century, by passing off Willy as the rightful king of
Belgium...
