Description: On the 30th anniversary of his marriage to Lisa McDowell, Prince Akeem of Zamunda is called before his dying father, King Jaffe Joffer. Jaffe and his shaman, Baba, reveal to a stunned Akeem that he fathered a son during his first visit to Queens, New York. This occurred after Semmi persuaded two women to spend the night with them while Akeem was still searching for his future queen. One of the women drugged Akeem, leading to an encounter he has no memory of. Since Zamundian tradition dictates that only a male heir can inherit the throne, and Lisa has given birth only to daughters, Akeem must return to Queens to find his son. If he fails, Zamunda faces a hostile takeover by its aggressive neighbor, Nextdoria, whose dictator, General Izzi, has long pressured Akeem to marry his daughter Meeka to his son, Idi.
After King Jaffe’s funeral and Akeem’s coronation, he and Semmi travel to Queens to locate his son, Lavelle Junson, a sharp-tongued ticket scalper struggling to find stable work. Following an uncomfortable reunion with Lavelle’s mother, Mary, Akeem brings Lavelle and his uncle Reem back to Zamunda, much to his family’s disapproval. When General Izzi learns of this, he introduces his daughter Bopoto to Lavelle as a final attempt to claim Zamunda’s throne. However, to be recognized as a royal prince, Lavelle must first complete a series of traditional and dangerous trials. Initially hesitant, Lavelle forms a bond with Mirembe, a royal groomer, who shares the story of Akeem’s quest for a queen and encourages Lavelle to forge his own path. Over time, Lavelle earns the trust and respect of Akeem’s family, and through wit and courage, he successfully passes the trials and is crowned Prince of Zamunda.
