Synopsis
Sam Smith, a cigar-smoking American businessman, arrives in Paris for a 24-hour visit and immediately runs into difficulties as he seeks fun and romance. He is approached by an attractive sidewalk beatnik, but discovers that she is a hawker for the Herald Tribune. Unable to find a date in his hotel lobby, he attends a bikini beauty contest; mistaken for a judge, he is thrown into the pool for ungentlemanly behavior. He goes to see the striptease at the Crazy Horse Saloon and in the dark places his arm around the woman sitting next to him; she remains impassive through the show and then gets up to leave with her husband. The businessman's imagination runs wild: as he dictates a letter, his stenographer's clothes seem to disappear. Attempting to strike up a conversation with three young women at a restaurant, he discovers that they are lesbians. He rescues a woman from drowning in the Seine, but she rushes to rejoin the man who inspired her suicide attempt. Thoroughly discouraged, Mr. Smith gets drunk, makes a nuisance of himself at a nightclub, and returns to his hotel, where a beautiful young woman from Peoria, Illinois, mistakes him for a Frenchman and follows him into his room to make love.
