    Marie, found abandoned and reared by the 21st Regiment, has developed tomboyish manners. She loves Tonio, a young Tyrolean, who joins the regiment in order to marry her. The Marquise, shocked by her rough ways, claims to be her aunt and whisks her away to be groomed as a lady. However, Marie finds her life stifling and longs for her ‘family’, the regiment, who arrive to rescue her. The Marquise organises a grand marriage which Marie resists. When the Marquise admits she is Marie’s mother, the girl feels she must obey. Seeing the misery of Marie and Tonio, the Marquise relents and blesses their union.
