[edit]

Gaston is in love with Brigitte, the daughter of a baroness, who teasingly tells him that she has another lover in Paris. He heads off to the capital to find and confront his rival under the pretext of trying to recruit performers for a charity gala. He is robbed on the way and ends up lost in the world of cabarets. All the other characters come looking for him.
