Welcome Mr. Marshall!

The little village of Villar del Río awaits the song performance of Carmen Vargas, 'The Great Andalusian Star'. The quiet village is governed by a deaf, naughty, good-natured Mayor, who just wants to enliven the place. More good news comes to the village: the arrival of North American high officials that will give economical aid to the nation village by village, city by city. The Mayor doesn't know how to welcome them. Carmen Vargas' agent throws surprising initiatives like moving all the villagers just to prepare a better reception for the foreigners, disguise all the farmers as Andalusians, and add color to every street with typical decorations. All of them start to work, and also to dream and think about what they're going to request of the Americans, who will come with lots of money. The day of the arrival everybody at Villar del Río is in the streets, from the Mayor to the newborn child.
