In the early 1900's in Paris, Gaston Lachaille (Louis Jourdan) is a rich playboy, who takes after his uncle, Honoré (Maurice Chevalier). However Gaston's conscience is getting to him and he is becoming bored with the high life, and his series of mistresses. The only thing that seems to give him enjoyment in his life is the time that he passes with, Madame Alvarez (Hermione Gingold) and her spirited granddaughter, Gigi (Leslie Caron). Madame Alvarez sends Gigi to her Aunt Alicia's (Isabel Jeans) to be trained etiquette and charm. During this time, Gaston realizes that he wants to be Gigi's first patron and supporter, providing her with luxury as his mistress. However, the situation racks him with guilt until he discovers that he's in love with Gigi, whom he spurns as a mistress and instead takes as his wife.
