Synopsis
The music teacher at a school for young ladies, Gustave Bourdillon is madly in love with Emilie Calumet, the attractive young wife of the school’s director.  When Monsieur Calumet dies, Emilie decides to take his place, but to do so she must first take an exam.  Realising how devotedly attached Gustave is to her, Emilie promises to marry him if he will help her pass the exam, by posing as a woman.  Gustave’s attempt at female impersonation is not a great success, and his marriage plans are further frustrated when Emilie believes that her husband has been reincarnated as a dog...
