Synopsis
The impresario Monsieur Cartoni is planning to stage an operetta in Mexico with his star singer, Michel Morano.  Alas, his plans are thwarted when Morano refuses to set foot in the country, through fear of running into the wealthy virago who once wanted to marry him.  Cartoni has no choice but to replace Moranao with another equally accomplished singer who resembles him, but who?   Passing through a small Basque village, he has his answer: Vincent Etchebar, a man who sings like an angel.  Unfortunately, Vincent is reluctant to appear in an operetta and, even if he did accept Cartoni's offer, the diva Eva Marchal will never agree to work with an unknown singer...
