Film Synopsis

Ensnared by the tender promises of a French journalist, Catherine leaves her home in Manchester and, a few hours later, finds herself at the Gard du Nord in Paris.  When her beau idéal fails to keep his rendez-vous, Catherine realises that she has been taken in by yet another Don Juan.  After a moment of panic, Catherine soon regains her composure and charms a stranger into giving her a bed for the night.  Far from taking advantage of the situation, the man gives Catherine advice on how to start up her own business...
