Film Synopsis

After growing tired of her uneventful life in the country, Marinette leaves her husband Mario and heads off for the bright lights of Paris, determined to make a name for herself as a dancer.  Mario has no intention of letting her go, so without a moment's delay he sets off in pursuit in his van, along with his baby and his precious cow Noéllie.  Mario has his work cut out as he sets about scouring all of the music halls and nightclubs of the city.  Finally, he sees his wife's name on a notice and manages to run her to ground.  By now, Marinette has had a dramatic change of heart.  Dancing no longer appeals to her and she wants only to return to her old life in the country.  She comes to her senses just in time, because Mario's attentions have just been grabbed by a ravishing call girl who is, like Marinette, keen to start a new life...
