Details

All the wonderfully zany ingredients of a neglected French masterpiece with sparkling music - outrageous fun. In a travelling circus, the dancer Zanetta dusts a waxwork of Princess Trebizonde and accidentally breaks off its nose. She has no choice but to install herself in its position and impersonate the statue. A visiting prince arrives and, naturally, falls in love with the "waxwork"... A talented cast bring this hilarious farce to life.
