Summary
Whilst training to be an aviator in the French air force,
Adémaï makes frequent visits to a nearby farm owned by
Monsieur Morlot. His main reason for doing so is to spend time
with the beautiful cowgirl Marguerite, to whom he has taken a distinct
fancy. Unfortunately, Marguerite is more interested in Lucas, the
man that Marie-Jeanne, the farmer’s daughter, is hoping to marry.
When Marie-Jeanne falls seriously ill, the doctor advises her parents
to find her a husband as quickly as possible. Since
Adémaï is the only man available, the Morlots contrive a
union between him and their daughter. Adémaï isn’t
keen on the idea, but what worries him more is the prospect of his
impending flying lessons...
