Gendarme in New York

Nicole is saved by a newspaper reporter who plans on running a cycle of romantic articles about a French orphan girl and her dreams.

The Italian takes her to his relatives soon after Cruchot who has seen her performance on TV chases her out of the YWCA hotel and gets arrested.

The captain sends him to find a real good cut of beef in order to make a proper French meal.

Fumbling as usual, during a West Side Story parody scene he manages to help capture a wanted criminal and is honoured by a newspaper article the following day.

She places him before a choice: either take the plane she will be flying on, thus risking discovery by the captain or make sure that they are late for their flight.

Cruchot sabotages the gendarme's luggage making them late for the flight, while the captain sees a girl resembling Nicole fumbling with the airplane door.
