Ferdinand is bored with his monotonous life in Parisian high society and embarks on an adventure with his ex-girlfriend Marianne. Together, they escape the big-city bourgeoisie and, after an adventurous journey, go into hiding on an island in the south of France. But it doesn't take long for Marianne to get bored of this dropout life in sunny idylls, too. She runs away, dragging both Ferdinand and herself into ruin.
