Synopsis

[edit]

Monsieur Fourageot, the manager of a chemical laboratory is a frequent womaniser. However he is concerned about his young, pretty and outgoing daughter and makes several efforts to constrain her behaviour. He ultimately settles on marrying her to one of his employees, the well-meaning and virtuous Ferdinand. Then he hears a rumour that Ferdinand is himself a hardened reveller at night.
