Show Synopsis:
Carroll Todd works as a performer at Henri Labisse's gay club and meets Victoria Grant, a poor soprano who Labisse does not want to hire. Labisse fires Todd when he tries to help Victoria, and takes her in because she has nowhere to go. Victoria muses that life would be better if she were a man and Todd thinks life would be better as a woman. Todd's ex-boyfriend Richard comes by to get his things while Victoria is dressed in Todd's clothing and believes that she is Todd's new boyfriend, so Toddy dreams up the idea of Victoria playing Count Victor Grazinsky, who pretends to be a woman. Todd brings her to Andre Cassell, who does not believe this "man-playing-a-woman" can sing such wonderful soprano notes. As Count Victor's fame grows, the American King Marchan becomes determined to prove that "he" is a "she" and becomes unsettled when he realizes he's attracted to Count Victor. King invites Toddy and Victor over to dinner and has them sing, but Richard and his friends start a brawl at the club. King and Victoria kiss and Victoria tells King that she is in fact a woman, but when King's bodyguard Squash finds them in bed together, he applauds King for coming out as gay and comes out himself. Meanwhile, King's ex-girlfriend is telling people in America that King is gay and dumped her for a man, and when she goes to Paris, Victoria reveals herself to be a woman. Squash and Todd are very happy together, Todd gets his job back at Labisse's club but says goodbye to performing, and Victoria says goodbye to Victor once and for all.
