French farce comes to the New World in 1840 as Claire Ledoux convinces the middle-aged banker who is her fiancé that she is two different women -- a deception made necessary by the arrival of a man acquainted with the swath she cut across Europe. Giraud has been about to foreclose on a $150 loan made to a sea captain who needed the funds to court Claire. 'Get Claire's "cousin" out of New Orleans before the wedding,' Giraud tells the sea captain, and the debt will be paid. (official distributor synopsis)
