The battle of the sexes as drawing room social satire. Philippe, a middle-aged newspaper editor, has lived for six years with Paulette, a successful stage actress. He tells her friend Claudine, a realistic and enterprising reporter, that he's thinking of proposing. Into the mix steps Carl Erickson, a charming Hollywood matinée idol in Paris briefly.

Только вовсе не скандалить – оказывается, он и сам загулял на всю ночь, а теперь нуждается в помощи ловкого приятеля, чтобы оправдаться перед покинутой в одиночестве супругой.
