Adonis, the King of Bullomania's
personal chauffeur, is in love with Princess Ernestine, the King's daughter. To
win her heart, he accepts to fight bulls at the bullfighting school. But the
princess is also courted by Manuel Risotto, a famous toreador who kidnaps her.
The King chases after him in a car driven by Adonis. Unfortunately, the
chauffeur lets Risotto run away. In a rage, the King condemns Adonis to the
death penalty. But it is without counting a scientist who has invented a
rocket, his assistant who falls down in the yard of Adonis's prison, a great
escape featuring Adonis and the assistant disguised as bulls, a second
abduction of the Princess - but, this time for the just cause of love -, a wild
chase and a final flight to another planet!
Trivia
The title is a play on words;
Blood and Sand with Rudolph Valentino was one of the well known hits of the
era.
