國土迷你的歐洲國家馬修維亞,因富可敵國的美艷寡婦突然決定帶著全部財產移居巴黎,而面臨建國以來最巨大的財務危機。為了鞏固國庫財源,馬修維亞國王命令丹尼洛伯爵到巴黎想辦法與寡婦結婚,以免被其他外國男士搶得先機。怎料生性風流的丹尼洛來到巴黎後宛若脫韁野馬,投入歌舞廳的溫柔鄉,戀上康康舞女「菲菲」,徹底將寡婦拋在腦後。
故事改編自同名輕歌劇,本片為 1934 年米高梅推出由劉別謙執導的首部有聲版。不同於早期所拍攝的兩部默片版本,本片以歌舞詮釋歡喜冤家之間的愛恨情仇,充滿華麗的場景、全新的歌詞及「劉別謙感」(The Lubitsch Touch) 的幽默。
The sudden decision of Marshovia's richest widow to leave for Paris inflicts a potential financial crisis for the country. The king sends Count Danilo to seduce the widow before her wealth falls into the hands of a foreigner by marriage. Danilo arrives in Paris, but heads straight into the bosoms of the cabaret dancers instead and becomes infatuated with their new dancer "Fifi", tossing his mission and the widow out of his mind.
