The Prince discovers that even heaps of living cannot convert a slum apartment into a palace. The Prince takes a job as janitor in a fast-food joint and learns that good manners, noble bearing and even heroic action cannot overcome class distinctions. He tries to woo an uncommon commoner (played brightly by Newcomer Shari Headley) without revealing his identity, and encounters resistance from her father, who, since he is Akeem's boss, cannot help mistaking...
