On the French Riviera, in order to keep the act together, Harry Burns breaks up a budding romance between Lois and Henri, a penniless young art student. Lois, he says, is not really interested in his pitiful little bunches of flowers. She's the sleek, slinky type who prefers champagne to carnations. Henri takes him literally and promptly steals a diamond-crusted dog collar to impress Lois. And Harry, who had only good intentions, finds himself in jail and charged with the theft.
