Plot edit
The setting of the film is Odessa in the year 1910. A certain Frenchman, Viscount de Cordelia, with the permission of the governor and the "fathers" of the town organizes a cabaret theater. The entertainers who perform there include the singer Bengalsky, a charming dancer, a gypsy duet and of course also a corps de ballet.
