Set in turn-of-the-20th century Paris, the film opens with Honoré Lachaille (Maurice Chevalier) among high society in the Bois de Boulogne. A charming old roué, he cynically remarks that "Like everywhere else, most people in Paris get married, but not all. There are some who will not marry, and some who do not marry. But in Paris, those who will not marry are usually men, and those who do not marry are usually women." So marriage is not the only option for wealthy young bon vivants like his nephew Gaston (Louis Jourdan), who is bored with life. The one thing Gaston truly enjoys is spending time with Madame Alvarez (Hermione Gingold), whom he calls Mamita, and especially her granddaughter, the precocious, carefree Gilberte, aka Gigi who is 15 (Leslie Caron). Following the family tradition, Madame Alvarez sends Gigi to her sister, Great Aunt Alicia (Isabel Jeans), to be groomed as a courtesan and learn etiquette and charm. To Alicia, love is an art, and a necessary accomplishment for Gigi's social and economic future. But Gigi, shows disdain for such trivial love that a man and his mistress usually has. Remaining true to her girlish, yet charming personality, she finds herself having the most fun when with Gaston (35) whom she regards as an older brother.

The film's theme differs substantially from Biblical sources and is highly fictionalized, most notably in representing the Queen of Sheba as an ally of ancient Egypt in opposition to King Solomon of Israel, and in her having a love affair with Solomon.

Johnny Rivière est un jeune Parisien au cœur pur, passionné de rock'n'roll. Le sous-sol d'un bar lui sert de salle de répétition, à lui et à ses musiciens, en échange de menus services qu'il rend au patron, M. Franck. Lorsqu'il comprend qu'il est manipulé par des truands, il se révolte et jette à la Seine un chargement de drogue qu'il était chargé de convoyer à son insu. Menacé de mort, il part se réfugier auprès des siens en Camargue, bientôt rejoint par sa fiancée Gigi mais aussi traqué par les malfrats qui se sont lancés à ses trousses. D'où bagarres, chevauchées, amour et chansons… et inévitable dénouement heureux.
