Plot

Ferdinand I of Bourbon, known as "King Lazzarone," is more interested in personal escapades than ruling his kingdom. Preferring to roam the streets disguised as a commoner, he seeks romantic adventures amid Naples' notorious locales. His whimsical journey is complemented by the comedic talents of the De Filippo brothers, who add humor and flair to Ferdinand's escapades. As he navigates love and laughter, the king's neglect of his royal duties leads to both amusing and chaotic situations, showcasing the contrast between his royal status and his desire for a simpler life.
