During a battle of World War I, a Jewish Barber is
fighting for the Central Powers in the army of the nation of Tomainia. In this
fight, our protagonist helps the Commander Schultz but when they are flying on
Schultz's airplane, it crashes. They both survive, but the Barber suffers from
memory loss. Then, they discover that Tomainia has lost the war.
Years later, Adenoid Hynkel is the dictator of
Tomainia and he has started to persecute Jews. The barber returns to his
barbershop in the Jewish ghetto unaware of Hynkel's rise to power. There, the
Barber meets Hannah, his beautiful neighbour. When Schultz discovers the
Barber, he returns him the favour by ordering the storm troopers to take no
action against them.
Hynkel plans to invade Osterlich but when Schultz
opposes, he put him in a concentration camp. Later, the Commander meets the
Barber but they are captured on the roof.
Hynkel invites Benzino Napaloni, dictator of Bacteria,
to his country. But Hynkel's plan become a disaster. After that, the Barber and
Schultz escape from the camp wearing Tomainian uniforms. Then, the Barber is
mistaken for Hynkel and the last is arrested. In this moment, the Barber
assumes Hynkel's identity and he tells a long speech about peace, brotherhood
and freedom. He wants a better world.
