Prince Akeem rejects an arranged marriage in his homeland. Desperate to be loved for himself, not his royal title, he heads to America, where no one will recognize him. With his loyal servant, Semmi, Prince Akeem heads to Queens, New York, to find his future queen. When Prince Akeem falls in love with Lisa McDowell, daughter of a local restaurant owner, Akeem and Semmi both work to make the match happen, but how will Lisa react when she discovers that the man she thought to be a humble exchange student is actually a royal prince?
