Le Jour et la Nuit

About the show

In Portugal, Don Braseiro awaits the bride chosen by proxy while he guards the border. His steward Miguel’s fiancée Manola arrives fleeing the prime minister and pretends to be Braseiro’s bride. The real bride, Béatrix, agrees to help the couple by exchanging places with Manola in the dark. A series of disguises and mistaken identities culminates in a confrontation at an inn. Once the deception is explained, Braseiro accepts Béatrix, the king dismisses the prime minister, and both couples are happy.
