Overview
The Gerimum Trio arrives in Rio de Janeiro wanting to make it big in their artistic careers. They struggle with great difficulties and even sing in the street. The police pursue the three, who end up in the place they most want to be: a television studio. Mistaken for northeastern congressmen, they are taken to the TV director-general, Mr. Walter. Shortly after, Marly, the advertising star, and her secretary, Josias, enter. A heated argument ensues, but the situation is resolved when the real congressmen show up.
