Albert loves the Princess; it is the dominating passion of his life. He is only an extra but he dotes on her from afar; his one brief moment on the stage he considers only important because it enables him to see her, to smile at her. Through a hoax he is enabled to meet her - but not as himself, for he is so poor that he has only his theatrical costumes to wear and they change as the plays he appears in change. Add to this diversity the caprices of the beautiful Princess and you have the ingredients for a fanciful, gay jeu d'esprit which 'could happen only in Paris.'
