Synopsis
A young prince, in Paris for his education, inherits the throne when his father abdicates. But a clause in the constitution states that the new king needs to be sworn in by noon the following day or he will forfeit the throne. As the new king has already gone out for a night of carousing in Paris, those in charge of him set out to search all the nightclubs to find him while a rival group of conspirators do everything they can to try to prevent him being informed.
