Synopsis
Arlette, a country girl and illegitimate daughter of the minister of justice, travels to Paris for the first time. An accordion player, she hopes to make a career in music. She unwittingly escapes Gérard Laurent, the civil service minder her father has secretly sent to watch her, and falls in with some bohemians from Montmartre. After Arlette and her friends get arrested for busking, she meets and falls in love with Gérard. Her father's resignation from his position at last allows him to acknowledge her.
