Plot

[edit]

After their business in Seville goes bankrupt, Carmen and Paco emigrate to Stockholm, where, while penniless, they must somehow get by before returning to their homeland. While in Sweden, Carmen finds a job as a dancer while Paco manages to return to Seville. Meanwhile, Carmen gets into a fight on her job and is let go. Having some spare cash, she visits the hospital where she gets a plane ticket from Dr. Petersen, a physician who has been invited to a Medical Congress in Seville. Dressed up as him, she tries to make it to Seville, but on the plane and at the airport she meets various congressmen and comedy ensues.
