Michael Valentine (Bob Hope) is happily employed as a radio show host in New York City and is set to marry his sweetheart, Hazel (Vera Marshe). But his life is turned upside down when a distant and unknown relative, the king of Barovia, is shot in an assassination attempt. Now Michael must take up the crown, but first he must make it out of Manhattan with lovely General Grimovitch (Signe Hasso), avoiding would-be killers as well as Hazels tough policeman brother (William Bendix).

Contents

Where Theres Life is a 1947 comedy film. The films title derives from a line in Don Quixote ("Where theres life, theres hope", a play on the name of its star, Bob Hope).

In a far off country, their king is critically wounded after an assassination attempt and the only heir is a timid New York radio personality, Michael Valentine (Bob Hope). After reluctantly traveling to his father's homeland, Michael is not happy that he's become the target of the same terrorist organization that attacked the king.

Plot

Hope plays American radio announcer who finds out he is the new king of "Barovia", although a secret society called the Mordia, which assassinated the previous ruler, has other ideas.
