Synopsis

Miche, a young girl from the town of Senlis, goes to Paris to pose for a painter, Jacques de Peyrière. During her sitting, Jacques tries to kiss her, and Miche, insulted and afraid, flees the studio. Later in St. Moritz, Miche sees Jacques among the other skiers. She decides to leave immediately, but her aunt counsels another sort of revenge. Miche dresses up beautifully and approaches Jacques with her aunt's lover, Maitre Raphael Demaze, the notary of Senlis, who pretends to be her husband as well as a famous music composer. Jacques forgets about his mistress, who has accompanied him to the ski resort, and spends his time with Miche. He discovers Demaze's ruse just as Miche confesses to him the truth, and the two decide to marry.
