The main character is František Lelíček, who accepts an offer to act as a double for the Puerto Rican King Fernando XXIII as he is deeply in debt.The director Karel Lamač simultaneously shot the French version of the film Le Roi bis with Pierre Bertin in the main double role (while the detective was again played by Frič and the queen by Truda Grosslichtová).[2] King Fernando XXIII of Puerto Rico, fearing an imminent assassination attempt, enlists the famous detective Holmes to find a body double.Unlike the cowardly Fernando, the young and spirited queen refuses to flee into exile, and Lelíček's bold and energetic approach quickly wins her over.Meanwhile, the treacherous ministers plot to eliminate Lelíček with a bomb concealed in a gramophone, timed to explode during the playing of the new national anthem.
