More sexual antics of that French lady killer Maurice Chevalier. This time he is a Viennese soldier who falls in love with beer garden violinist Claudette Colbert. A visiting queen mistakes his winks at Claudette for herself and forces him into marriage. Chevalier and Claudette continue their affair while the poor queen plays checkers with dad on her honeymoon. This goes on for awhile until Claudette teaches the prim and proper girl that sexy lingerie is the way to Chevalier's heart.
