SADRŽAJ

Glasovita satirična komedija o dva para pogrešno spojenih blizanaca jedni su iz vladajuće, a drugi iz seljačke klase čiji se putevi neočekivano ponovo ukrste za vrijeme Francuske revolucije. U jednom francuskom selu, u 18. stoljeću, liječnik istodobno porađa dvije trudnice.

Jedna pripada aristokratskoj lozi dok je druga iz seljačke obitelji. Obje rađaju muške

sudjeluju u pripremama za nadolazeću revoluciju. Uskoro plemenita braća DeSisi

dobivaju poziv od francuskog kralja Luja XVI koji ih hitno poziva na dvor kako bi mu

pomogli u borbi protiv spletki njegove supruge Marije Antoinette i njezinoga ljubavnika,

vojvode dEscargota (Victor Spinatta). Zabunom, na dvor su odvedeni seljaci Claude i Charles "
