Cast: Leonid Utesov, Lyubov Orlova
A musical comedy which pits a whip-cracking, animal-herding, good-hearted
rustic with a fine voice and a Pan-like effect on all who hear him
against a so-called "finer" stratum of society. Leaving
a trail of mirth and mayhem from the seaside to the Moscow theater
world, our hero eventually finds harmony and llifelong melody with
a pretty, tuneful serving girl.
