Synopsis
Prince Akeem of Zamunda decides it's time for him to find a wife outside of his kingdom and his mission leads him and his most loyal friend Semmi to Queens, New York. In disguise as an impoverished immigrant, Akeem finds himself working at a fast food restaurant called McDowell's (a parody of McDonald's), making new friends like the owner's son, Lisa, and attracting trouble from local criminal Sal and his gang.
