Gigi goes each week to her great-aunt Alicia (Cathleen Nesbitt)-the immensely successful grande cocotte of the family who might be its dowager duchess-for lessons in how to eat ortolans or determine the comparative value of jewels. Aunt Alicia also decides which rich young Parisian shall launch her grandniece.

She finds that, just as her husband has always jealously resented her being so close...
