In order to get rid of Berval, Marquis Sévéro sends him to the West Indies as a prospector, promising that he can marry Denise once he returns.

Papitou quickly falls in love with him, unaware of the fact that he is planning on marrying Denise upon his return to Paris.

Once she arrives in Paris, Papitou accepts that Berval loves only Denise, and finds her true calling as a music hall performer.

Prior to the film's release, newspaper articles detailing Baker's tour through Europe piqued public interest.
