Charming playboy and libertine Leonidas Fadinard plans a calculated marriage to the daughter of a wealthy provincial gardener, Nonancourt.

Along the way, he stops briefly, during which his horse eats the straw hat of Madame Beauperthuis, a married woman having a clandestine rendezvous with her military lover in the woods.

Faced with the threat of exposure to her jealous husband, Madame and her lover storm into Fadinard’s home, occupy the bridal suite, and refuse to leave until he replaces the hat with an identical one.

The real tenor soon arrives, sparking chaos, and Fadinard learns the sought-after hat was gifted to the baroness’s godmother.
