La vie de plaisir

Albert Maulette is in love with Hélène de Lormel. But the latter's parents, aristocrats on the verge of bankruptcy, demand that he sells his nightclub before they'll agree to the marriage. Life with his in-laws is set to be difficult and Maulette's candour rapidly offends their hypocritical conventions.
