What happens

Education of a Prince (French: Éducation de prince) is a 1938 French comedy film directed by Alexander Esway and starring Elvire Popesco, Louis Jouvet and André Alerme. It is based on the 1900 play Education of a Prince by Maurice Donnay which had previously been made into the 1927 silent film of the same title. Screenwriter and future director Henri-Georges Clouzot worked on the script of the remake. It was shot at the Saint-Maurice Studios in Paris and on location around the city. The film's sets were designed by the art director Jean Bijon. It is also known by the alternative title Bargekeeper's Daughter. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
