Forrestier, who tries to get information out of Simone about the police officers who are paid off to keep quiet about the her can-can performances, becomes instantly infatuated with Simone, offering to marry her and turn her into a "respectable" woman. Flattered by his offer -- particularly since Durnais turns white every time the word "marriage" is mentioned -- Simone soon is caught in the middle between the two suitors...
