An impresario (Gabin) is about to open a new club, with the centrepiece of the entertainment a fresh and saucy new version of the cancan. That the dance is to star his brand new discovery, a humble laundress, can only excite jealousy among the chorus line. A loving tribute to Paris and beautiful early foray into the world of colour filmmaking.
