Plot
The film is inspired by a popular song against the French monarchy, created during the French Revolution. The song was about how the king was unable to do anything without his royal advisor Eloy.[1][2]
During the 7th century, the lazy and messy King Dagobert I goes to Rome to ask Pope Honorius I for forgiveness of his sins of revelry and fornication. But Dagobert does not know that the pope, while he was traveling, was replaced in a conspiracy by a doppelganger. The replacement is a crude and rude man, even more stupid than Dagobert.
