Synopsis.
A circle of a small town's older ladies decide to award a prize for virtue for a young woman with an unblemished reputation. When it turns out nobody in the settlement qualifies, they instead award it to Isidore an idiotic and bashful young man with a fear of the opposite sex. However when Isidore encounters and spends the night with a countess, who sits on the board giving out the prize, he is suddenly transformed into a worldly figure who returns to the town in triumph.
