What happens

Le Roi des Champs-Élysées is a 1934 French comedy starring Buster Keaton. This French-made film has Keaton playing two roles, as an aspiring actor, and as an American gangster. A closing gag has the typically deadpan Keaton breaking out into a big grin after being kissed. Almost all of Keaton's dialogue, in French, is dubbed. The film was never theatrically released in the United States. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
