Le Mariage de mademoiselle Beulemans

About the show

In Brussels, brewer Ferdinand Beulemans's daughter Suzanne is engaged to Séraphin Meulemeester, son of a competing brewer, for the business advantage of a dowry. Suzanne loves Albert Delpierre, a young French brewing intern, and learns that Séraphin has a child with another woman. She ends the engagement and urges Séraphin to acknowledge his responsibilities; the rival brewers then compete to become honorary president of their society. Suzanne and Albert help secure the position for her father.
