More romantic nonsense from Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald, this time as a married couple. He is seduced by her best friend at a dinner party, while she finds herself fighting off the advances of her best friend's husband. They both claim innocence though they both share more than a little in unfaithful actions. They sing about it while threatening divorce, frequently addressing the audience directly. Chevalier essentially played the same character for his entire career.
