The entomology professor Leo Charpentier is more interested in the reproduction of insects than in his elegant wife Irene, who enjoys being courted by Baron Felix, an aviator, and Preben Wells, a sculptor. The professor is at first equally unaware of his wife's flirtations as he is of his niece Marthe's secret love for him. A series of misunderstandings and outbursts of jealousy after an evening at the opera is finally resolved when both Leo and his wife eventually find their true loves.
