Danglard, a show producer, has started renovation work on an old building that he calls the Moulin Rouge. He is betting that he can turn an old quadrille called the Cancan into a success and turn a young washing woman called Nini into a star dancer. Danglard&#x27;s project will face Lola&#x27;s jealous love for him, his backer&#x27;s withdrawal, and the Montmartre pimps. Despite injuries and ruin, Danglard doesn&#x27;t give up and opening night at the Moulin Rouge is a smashing success.
