Synopsis

[edit]

Two officers serving in a regiment of Spahis discard their mistresses as they try to turn over a new, more respectable leaf. Annoyed at not being invited to a dance being held to celebrate the engagement of one of the officers to Nicole, the colonel's daughter, the two women steal Spahi uniforms from two soldiers and turn up to the party to create havoc.
