Synopsis
Monsieur Bonnefous is the headmaster of a girls’ boarding school in Versailles.  One night, to escape his tyrannical wife, he goes for a drink at the local bar.  When he returns home, completely drunk, he accidentally sets fire to the house.  The school is so badly damaged that the pupils must be sent away for a while.  Miss Barfleur, one of the teachers, has to return the girls unexpectedly to their parents.  Germaine is the daughter of an actress who pretends that she is her sister so that she can appear younger.  Andrée finds her parents in a club - they are too busy playing bridge even to notice her.  Geneviève’s parents are a poor couple who have had to make a lot of sacrifices to pay for her education.  Louise discovers that her mother, Madame de Saint André, is not an aristocrat but a clairvoyant who adopted her from the state.  Jeanne returns to her father, a humble doctor.  Georgette discovers that her father is the famous clown Auguste, but Yvonne’s father is Monsieur Veyrier, a society man who is waiting for her in a fashionable bar...
