A bumbling barber in the court of King Louis XV becomes engaged in political intrigue when he masquerades as a dashing nobleman engaged to the princess of Spain.

Beaucaire is a barber for the royal French court which becomes a real "royal pain" for the king. As a result he is sent to the guillotine, but he is saved by the Duc de Chandre, who rescues and transports him to the Spanish court. While there, Beaucaire poses as a nobleman. The only problem is, he gets into even more trouble.—Kelly
