A gleefully absurdist pre-code comedy that abandons narrative logic entirely in favor of rapid-fire gags, surreal situations, and anarchic humor centered on a fictional country's Olympic adventure.

A small country on the verge of bankruptcy is persuaded to enter the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics as a means of raising money.
