My Uncle Benjamin
Benjamin loves Manette, the innkeeper's beautiful daughter, but she has no intention of yielding to the young doctor until she sees the marriage contract, and marriage does not fit with Benjamin's spirit of independence. For the same reason he resists his sister Bettine's efforts to marry him off to Arabelle, the daughter of old Dr. Minxit. Benjamin does agree to go and meet the girl. But that evening his sister discovers him at the inn together with Manette, who is arrested by her father. So she decides to go with Benjamin herself. But as a result of an incident with the fat Marquis, the expedition is derailed. Benjamin is subjected by the Marquis to a humiliating practical joke. Benjamin is determined to get his revenge. He succeeds thanks to the gorgeous Vicomte Hector de Pont-Cassé, who also helps Manette with her troubles against her father. But Benjamin is now arrested by the Marquis.
