Die freche Susanne führt ein aufregendes Doppelleben zwischen ihrem Heimatort und Paris: Im Provinznest gilt sie als das stets tugendhafte und bodenständige Mädchen, während sie in der Weltstadt, in die sie immer entwischt, die Königin der Nacht ist, mondän und verführerisch, von vielen Männern begehrt. In Paris lernt sie René kennen und beginnt um ihn zu werben, doch sie hat eine adlige Konkurrentin: Jacqueline.
