A lighthearted romantic comedy built on mistaken identity and disguise, where an artist's elaborate scheme to help his fiancée's patients ultimately serves his own romantic ambitions.

An artist has an opportunity to go to Paris and wants to bring his fiancee along. However, she's a psychiatrist who currently has three female patients who don't like men. So, he guises himself as three different men to gauge their trust and hopefully cure them so that his fiancee can go with him.
