In Paris Jean Bourselet encounters the attractive and flirtatious Madeleine Fidoux, whose husband owns a hotel in the spa town of Vittel. In order to further their acquittance he feigns ill health so he can visit the resort, which is famous for its local mineral water. However his suspicious wife follows him there and, discovering that he is passing himself off as a widower, begins flirtations of her own with men. Eventually the couple are lovingly reconciled.
