(August 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) </Td> </Tr> <P> Heir to Zamunda's (a fictional African kingdom) throne Akeem Joffer lives a pampered lifestyle with every daily task performed by servants . On his 21st birthday, Akeem has become fed up with this and wishes to do more for himself . The final straw comes when his parents, King Jaffe and Queen Aeoleon, present him with an arranged bride - to - be named Imani Izzi, whom he has never met and who has been trained to obey Akeem's every command . Akeem concocts a plan to travel to the United States to find an intelligent, independent - minded woman he can both love and respect, and who will love Akeem for who he is and not for his wealth and social status as a prince . Akeem and his best friend / personal aide, Semmi, flip a coin to decide between going to either Los Angeles or New York City, and end up going to New York City . They end up in the borough of Queens and rent a run - down apartment in the neighborhood of Long Island City under the guise of poor foreign students . They begin working at a local fast food restaurant called McDowell's--an obvious ripoff of McDonald's--owned by widower Cleo McDowell and his two daughters, Lisa and Patrice . </P> <P> Akeem soon falls in love with Lisa, who possesses all the qualities that the prince is looking for in a woman, as first seen by Akeem at a rally where she makes a strong plea to renovate a playground . The rest of the film centers on Akeem's attempts to win Lisa's hand in marriage, which is complicated by Lisa's lazy and obnoxious boyfriend, Darryl Jenks (Eriq La Salle), whose father owns "Soul Glo" (a Jheri curl--like hairstyling aid). Lisa eventually breaks up with Darryl after he announces their engagement (without Lisa having given her consent) to their families, and starts dating Akeem . Although Akeem thrives on hard work and learning how commoners live, Semmi is not comfortable with living the life of a poor man . After a dinner date with Lisa is thwarted since Semmi has furnished their apartment with jacuzzi and other luxuries, Akeem confiscates their travel money and donates it to two homeless men . Semmi wires a telegraph to King Jaffe for financial help . This causes Akeem's parents to travel to Queens and expose Akeem's identity as a prince to the McDowells . </P> <P> Mr. McDowell, initially disapproving of the match as he did not want to see his daughter with a man of poor means, is ecstatic that she has in fact attracted the interest of an extremely wealthy prince . Lisa, however, becomes angry and confused as to why Akeem lied to her about his identity, as he had told her before that he was actually a goat herder . Still hurt and angry that Akeem lied to her, she refuses to marry him, even after he offers to renounce his throne . He returns home with a broken heart, resigned to marry the woman chosen for him by his parents . On the way to the airport, King Jaffe remarks that Akeem can't marry Lisa anyway because of "tradition," and tries defending himself by saying "Who am I to change it?", with Queen Aeoleon curtly responding, "I thought you were the King". </P>
