Norman vit toujours dans l'orphelinat Greenwood où il a grandi et où il est devenu un employé. Un matin, alors qu'il emmène les orphelins à l'école, ils s'arrêtent devant un magasin de jouets où une voiture à moteur impressionne les enfants, et plus particulièrement le petit Jimmy. Arrivé à l'école, Norman laisse les enfants aux bons soins d'Iris Gibson, leur professeur, mais aussi l'objet de l'affection de Norman. Mais elle s'intéresse plutôt à Alec Bigley , le fils du propriétaire du terrain sur lequel l'orphelinat est construit. En fait, c'est Mary, une autre employée, qui se languit de Norman, alors qu'il ne la remarque pas.

Akeem Joffer, the crown prince to the throne of the wealthy African nation of Zamunda, lives a pampered lifestyle with every daily facet performed by servants. 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, passing themselves off as 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.
