Le Valet de Chambre (as Kerly)
Завязка лёгкого любовного романа между обаятельной светской дамой и отошедшим от дел адвокатом сулит приятное времяпровождение обоим, да и случай подворачивается удачный. Муж дамы под предлогом деловой встречи отправляется на вечернее свидание, она же получает возможность нанести визит новому воздыхателю. Утомлённые любовники засыпают сном праведников и лишь утром осознают масштабы грядущего скандала, ведь замужняя дама провела ночь вне дома. Поправить положение, кажется, невозможно, тем более что и муж нежданно-негаданно заявляется на квартиру к адвокату. 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.
