## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Chaplin directs himself, as ever. A deposed king arrives penniless in New York, and tries to make ends meet, only to be branded a commie. The film rather clumsily satirizes American commercialism and political paranoia, but it's hard to dislike.

**Mood tags**: outsider, playful
