Description
Danny Kaye plays the illiterate stooge of two-bit medicine-show. Abandoned by show entrepreneur Walter Slezak, the starving Kaye wanders into a corruption-ridden Russian village, which is all geared up for a visit from the Inspector General. Mistaking Kaye for that selfsame royal inspector, the townsfolk fawn on the confused Kaye, granting him his every whim and plying him with all sorts of bribes. The treachery is in the hands of Slezak, who fakes Kaye’s death and tries to blackmail the crooked local officials.
