Le Bouif errant

Bicard, an unassuming everyman known by the moniker Le Bouif, navigates the precarious edges of Parisian society, frequently finding himself in peculiar predicaments. His latest venture involves an unconventional scientific experiment, for which he lends his physique to the eccentric Professor Caligari, earning a modest sum. This unusual start sets him on an even stranger path when destiny, or rather a royal whim, intervenes. Bicard crosses paths with Ladislas, the carefree Crown Prince of Corinthia, a young man more inclined to revelry than statecraft. Weary of his princely duties, Ladislas sees in Bicard a striking resemblance and an opportunity for escape, commissioning the bewildered commoner to temporarily assume his royal identity. What follows is a comedic masquerade, where the streetsmart Le Bouif must awkwardly don the mantle of royalty, attempting to mimic a life utterly alien to his own, while the true prince enjoys a taste of civilian freedom.
