“Monsieur le Duc “is gambling his fortune away whilst his mother worries in the company of her siblings, an officer ,a bishop and an old maid ;short of the readies , the duke had pawned all the pictures of his ancestors, and then he finally decides to leave his native France for the broader horizons of America to make his fortune ; but meeting in a chic place in Paris a wealthy American woman , he realizes that a money match would be an easier way to become rich again ; but he falls for a young girl , who unfortunately is poor. Coincidence : these women are none other than the mom and the daughter….
A harmless comedy in which the funny moments are few and far between : the bishop quoting the holy scriptures , the duke saying goodbye to his family ,represented by the pictures in the pawn shop ….But an interminable ballet is pure filler .. Just a curio from the early days of the French talkies. More on Wikipedia
