The studio simultaneously made and released a Spanish-language version, Chéri-Bibi, directed by Carlos F. Borcosque and starring Ernesto Vilches.

Unfortunately, one of them is the nobleman Bourrelier, whose daughter Cecily is madly in love with Bibi (and vice versa), despite being engaged to the Marquis Du Touchais.

While hiding out at the home of a friend, Herman, he overhears that Bourrelier was actually murdered by the Marquis, who was afraid of losing out on Cecily's inheritance.

He eventually reappears in his new guise, telling the public that Bibi has died and that he had suffered a head injury which conveniently affected his memory.

Eventually he reveals himself and they embrace, but the reunion is short-lived: Detective Costaud, who has smelled a rat since the beginning, appears and demands to fingerprint "the Marquis" to see if they match those of Bibi.
