What happens

Two Guys from Milwaukee (UK title: Royal Flush) is a 1946 American comedy film directed by David Butler, and starring Dennis Morgan, Jack Carson and Joan Leslie. It was distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film is about a Balkan prince who wants to see for himself what America is really like. So he slips away from his entourage in New York City and pretends to be an average guy. The film closely mimics the style of Paramount's popular Road pictures, with Morgan in the Bing Crosby romantic straight role and Carson as the comedic Bob Hope sidekick. Morgan, Carson, director David Butler, and writer I. A. L. Diamond reteamed for the 1948 followup, Two Guys from Texas. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
