Impoverished music teacher David Blake takes comfort in philosopher Azaïs's theory that happiness and misery balance out. His new confidence wins him a job managing a casino, but as his luck rises, the formerly fortunate Stromboli's declines; a jealous secretary engineers Blake's downfall, while Blake and casino owner's daughter Peggy ultimately unite.
In a courtroom, Dolly and Roger Fleuriot seek to dissolve their marriage. Roger recounts how wealthy Princess Dolly loved her shy librarian but invented a sister working in a Nancy shoe shop. Disguised as the sister, Dolly meets Roger there; he falls for her, while her fiancé Count Lacy falls for saleswoman Irma. Dolly and Roger marry, but after Roger discovers the disguise he retreats into shyness. The judge rejects their divorce request and urges Roger to try again with Dolly; they leave hand in hand.
