Film Synopsis
Entertainer Eddie Parker has been looking for work in Florida for some time when his contract in Paris offers him the prospect of a job at the cabaret Gay Paris. When he arrives at the airport he is disappointed to learn that the flowers and music which greet him are not for him but for the funeral of David Balkis, the man who owned most of the French cabaret. Balkis's three brothers - Melchior, Balthazar and Gaspard - have no intention of handing over anything whatsoever to his widow Geneviève and his son. Eddie has no choice but to give the brothers a helping hand, although what follows is not the kind of entertainment he had been expecting...© James Travers
