Synopsis

Françoise Noblet is a young manicurist who works at a high class hotel in Paris. One Christmas Eve, she meets Monsieur Delormel, a wealthy businessman who offers her an evening she will never forget. But Françoise is more interested in a handsome young man named Gérard who, unbeknown to her, has been charged with delivering a Cadillac to Delormel. Gérard is equally taken with Françoise, but is afraid that she will cease to have any interest in him when she learns that he is no one of importance. What is he to do when Françoise lets slip that she is Delormel’s daughter...?
