        Storyline

        Did you know

        • Trivia
          Harold Lloyd's lookalike, the Prince of Razzamatazz, is played by his older brother, Gaylord Lloyd, who is not credited.
        • Goofs
          The tapestries behind the king and queen appear to be Native American, not Mediterranean.

          The location of Razzamatazz and Thermosa is not specifically identified. Some hats appear to be mid-Eastern, Slavic, and Mediterranean; other attire, accessories, and palace furnishings could be from any number of geographic locations. This is simply a case of artistic interpretation of an unidentified foreign land.
