La Baronne de minuit (1939)
Eve Peabody, petite danseuse de variétés américaine, arrive à Paris en robe du soir par le train en 3ème classe. Ruinée par la roulette de Monte-Carlo, laissant ses affaires au clou, elle a du fuir. À la gare, un chauffeur de taxi, Tibor Czerny, jeune homme bien de sa personne, la prend en pitié, en charge et en amitié avec d'autres ambitions. Elle préfère s'échapper pendant qu'il fait le plein d'essence du taxi et parvient à s'introduire dans une soirée de la haute société en se faisant passer pour la baronne Czerny. Elle est sauvée de la misère par le richissime George Flammarion qui lui propose des arrangements financier et matériel puisqu'il cherche à se débarrasser du play-boy Jacques dont sa femme est éprise et le dirigeant vers cette baronne de pacotille. Eve détourne le fortuné prédateur, au cours d'un séjour mouvementé dans un château à Versailles, demeure des Flammarion, où un quiproquo chasse l'autre...
