Film Synopsis

A hotel on the French Riviera is having difficulty attracting customers because it is some way from the main road through the area.  The hotel owner's son-in-law and a singer named Luis, suitor for the hand of the youngest daughter, have an idea for diverting tourists towards the hotel.  The scheme works and soon the hotel is brimming with custom, but Luis must set off for Nice to honour an engagement at a casino.
