Story
The plot of the film consists of a complex kaleidoscope of unexpected events and adventures that arose between the two families after the "messed up cradle" when the baby of a poor widow became a descendant of a count kind. And the count’s heir is a simple cowboy in America.
The film from the initial farce and satire turns into a serious drama, after two families come to grips with each other in an intricate storyline - who has the right to ancestral estate and fortune.
