Synopsis:

A King in New York: Due to a revolution in his country, King Shahdov comes to New York - almost broke. To get some money he goes to TV, making commercials and meets the child from communist parents. Due to this he is suddenly a suspected as a communist himself and has to face one of McCarthy's hearings. A Woman of Paris: A Drama of Fate: Believing that she has been jilted by her artist fiance' Jean when he fails to meet her at the railway station, Marie St. Clair goes off to Paris alone. A year later, mistress of wealthy Pierre Revel, she meets Jean again. Misinterpreting events, she bounces back and forth between apparent security and true love. Monsieur Verdoux: Monsieur Verdoux is a bluebeard, he marries women and kills them after the marriage to get the money he needs for his family. But with two ladies he has bad luck. Shoulder Arms: Charlie is in boot camp in the 'awkward squad.' Once in France he gets no letters from home. He finally gets a package containing limburger cheese which requires a gas mask and which he throws over into the German trench. He goes 'over the top' and captures thirteen Germans ('I surrounded them'), then volunteers to wander through the German lines disguised as a tree trunk. With the help of a French girl he captures the Kaiser and the Crown Prince and is given a statue and victory parade in New York and then ... fellow soldiers wake him from his dream.
