Plot
Cantinflas is a model of tuxedos for a tailor shop, wandering around in the streets wearing the tuxedos while also wearing an ad put on his back. In the meantime, he also works as a tailor for his neighbors, and collaborates with Lita (Martha Valdés) and Father Feliciano (Domingo Soler) in the neighborhood's dispensary, where Lita works as a nurse. At the same time, the life of Don Pascual Lachica (Ángel Garasa), an anguished millionaire whose family only respects him as a provider, is shown. One day after work, Cantinflas arrives to return the tuxedo, but the store was closed, so he takes the ad off his back and returns home while still well-dressed, running on his way home into the wedding of Don Pascual's daughter. Don Pascual, seeing him elegantly dressed, confuses him with a millionaire and likes the sincerity with which Cantinflas treats him and offers him his friendship.
