Alfer seeing the handsome tenor, the Marquise decides not to let his bride, Madeliane, join him in Paris.

He takes Madeleine in hand and after exhaustive grooming and make-over he returns to court with her as his banishment has been lifted, and Chepelou, failing to recognize hie own wife, falls in love with her.
