Plot

Longing for a baby, a stripper pursues another man in order to make her boyfriend jealous.

Sometimes, solemn but somehow empty vows of love and devotion are just not good enough, and a simple "I love you" may prove to be insufficient. As a result, tall, slender, graceful exotic dancer Angela has set her sights on talking her unwilling lover Émile, into starting a family, but he seems absorbed with his other passion: cycling. However, Angela wants a child. Could Alfred Lubitsch, a handsome neighbour and Émile's bosom friend, lend a hand? What happens when a pressing demand turns into a misunderstanding, and love transforms into jealousy?
