What happens
Chaste Susanne (French: La chaste Suzanne) is a 1937 French-British comedy film directed by André Berthomieu and starring Raimu, Meg Lemonnier and Henri Garat. It is an adaptation of the 1912 operetta Chaste Susanne by Jean Gilbert, itself based on an earlier play by Antony Mars and Maurice Desvallières. It was made when the 1930s booms in operetta films was at its height. Made at Ealing Studios in London, it was the French-language version of the British film The Girl in the Taxi. Henri Garat was the only actor to appear in both productions. The film's sets were designed by the art director Jean d'Eaubonne. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
