A poor country aristocrat Ponceludon de Malavoy goes to the court of Versailles in 18th century France to obtain royal patronage for a much-needed draining project. He soon discovers that to secure an audience with the king he must first cultivate the sophisticated court wit, and he is assisted to this end by the Marquis de Bellegard. Unfortunately, the young lord allows himself to be seduced by the irresistible Madame de Blayac, who is none too pleased when she find out that Malavoy is amorously entangled with the free-spirited daughter of Bellegard.
