Synopsis
Count André de Dussange, a young aristocrat, appears to all the ladies like a legendary prince, but in fact, he is experiencing severe economic problems and is even about to have his furniture seized. One evening, André takes a woman named Totoche away from another man, and from then on, one misfortune follows another. The count's wife Susana wants a divorce, and her husband's relationship with Totoche the previous evening provides an opening for her, as secretary of the court, to move ahead with the attachment. André loses everything except for his dress dinner suit, which he continues to wear. Dressed so, he is mistaken for an extra in a movie, then he unwittingly attends a funeral. When he reads an advertisement that the Montmartre Follies is seeking a man in tails, he goes to apply. Waiting for him is his wife, who tells him that his uncle has died and that they will inherit a large fortune if they continue as husband and wife, whereupon they reconcile.

Notes
The working title of this film was Un hombre de frac. A French-language version was also made in 1931 at Joinville, entitled Un homme en habit, which was directed by René Guissart and Robert Bossis, and starred Fernand Gravey and Suzy Vernon. No information concerning any showings in the U.S. of the French version has been located. In 1927, Paramount released an English-language film based on the same source, entitled Evening Clothes, which was directed by Luther Reed and starred Adolphe Menjou and Virginia Valli.
