Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Noel-Noel is the nonplused star of the aptly titled Le Terreur des Dames (The Terror of Women). The film's central character is a mild-mannered provincial soul who goes off on a drunken toot in Paris. The next morning, our hung-over hero discovers that he's somehow earned the reputation as a sex maniac! He spends the rest of the film searching for the women he's supposedly "disgraced," hoping to make profuse apologies. Yves Robert co-stars as a worldly-wise Parisian who observes Noel-Noel's plight with detached amusement. Le Terreur des Dames was adapted from a story by Guy de Maupassant.
