Marseilles, 1920s. Fanny (Caron) is the radiantly beautiful 18-year-old daughter of a lady fishmonger. She is in love with Marius (Buchholz), the son of barkeeper Cesar (Boyer). Marius seems to like Fanny as well, but he's put out by her constant flirting with and teasing of Panisse (Chevalier), a wealthy merchant and widower who is at least 40 years older than Fanny is. Panisse for his part is smitten with gorgeous Fanny and hopes to marry her, despite the huge age difference. Meanwhile, Marius dreams of escape from sleepy provincial Marseilles, and has signed up to be a sailor on a research vessel that's going to spend five years sailing around the world.

!!Tropes:

* BedlahBabe: The very sexy dancer at the bar where Marius signs up for the expedition is dressed this way.
* BuxomIsBetter: Marius and Cesar's English friend are talking about Cesar's bosomy girlfriend.
--> '''English guy''': Tell me, is it the same ''[[makes "big breasts" gesture]]''...voluptuous Dutch lady?\\
'''Marius''': She is Spanish and ''[[makes GagBoobs gesture]]''...monumental.
* DirtyOldMan: Panisse can't get enough of Fanny, putting his arm around her, holding her hand, toying with the necklace that's dangling down under her dress. This greatly annoys Marius, who says "You old lecher!" and starts a fight.
* LawOfInverseFertility: Fanny and Marius share one night of passion the night before Marius ships out. Guess what Fanny does nine months later.
* SelectiveObliviousness: Fanny's mother Honorine is skeptical about Panisse's proposal to Fanny, noting the age difference and saying that Fanny will probably cheat on him, and admit it when he confronts her. Panisse considers this and says that if he never asks, maybe she won't tell.
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Fanny gets her jollies by getting the men of the neighborhood excited. In her first appearance she shows up at Cesar's bar, says it's hot, and ostentatiously adjusts her little slip of a dress, while Cesar, Marius, and Panisse all goggle at her.
