Champagne (1928)

Betty, the audacious heiress of a champagne empire, defies the chains of convention and her affluent father's wishes by choosing to marry Jean, a man of humble means. Spurred by a rebellious spirit, she elopes to the sophisticated streets of France, basking in the bubbly effervescence of a luxurious life, financed by the golden tides of her father's thriving business. However, her father, disconcerted by her lavish lifestyle and obstinate nature, devises a sobering plan to ground her flight of fancy. He concocts a tale of financial ruin, convincing Betty that their champagne fortune has fizzled out, transforming her world of indulgence into a sobering reality. Suddenly bereft of her father's wealth, Betty finds herself navigating unfamiliar territory, forced to seek her own fortune. She plunges into the vibrant nightlife, landing a job at a bustling night club. The tale thus follows Betty's journey from the sparkling heights of privilege to the gritty reality of self-reliance, painting a picture of a spoiled rich girl's transformation in the face of adversity.
