Unbeknownst to him, the audiences are also rounded up (and paid) by the same uncle.

There are a huge number of romantic situations going on in this film at the same time. One of them involves Gaston a somewhat world-weary jazz musician, and Florence, a glamorous middle-aged woman who has been pining for him for years.
