Plot

Mario "Cantinflas" Moreno stars as Pepe, a ranch worker on a quest to reclaim his beloved white stallion, sold to a drunken Hollywood director. Determined to retrieve the horse he considers family, Pepe travels to Tinseltown, where he encounters iconic celebrities like Frank Sinatra, Zsa Zsa Gábor, and Jimmy Durante, along with a drag performance by Jack Lemmon as Daphne. Encountering the quirks of American life, including automatic swinging doors, Pepe faces discouragement when he learns the horse's new owner is unyielding. Ultimately, the film concludes with Pepe joyfully reunited with the stallion and new foals on the ranch.
