Plot
The evocation of 1920s Paris mingles with the rapid rise of the irresistible Caprice, a talented singer, and her tumultuous love affair with Jeff the composer. A photographer nicknamed Bagnolet, a gentle anarchist, keeps a gentle eye on Caprice's activities as she becomes Lady Paname, and in the absence of morals, makes love triumph.
