Plot
Emanuel Davis Jr. and Gilda, the famous artistic duo, are in the newly inaugurated Brasília for a show. While trying to avoid an harrassing millionaire, Gilda asks Emanuel to take her to somewhere new and they end up in a bar crawling with "candangos" (migrant workers who built the City of Brasília), where they get to know the duo Tonico and Odete. After a fight, ending up at the police station, Emanuel and Odete get married and go to Rio de Janeiro. Odete takes Tonico in on their house, which displeases Emanuel. During a show on a nightclub owned by the unscrupulous Jacó, Odete improvises an artistic number together with Emanuel and, as a consequence, gets hired. Jacó, nonetheless, tricks her and forces her to separate from Tonico. He finds Gilda (who had left Emanuel and their duo) and attempt to work together, but manage to get not job. Emanuel and Odete eventually get to know Jacó's trickeries. All the four of them try to set up their own nightclub, but will end up facing Jacó, who fears for competition.
