A Toronto housewife crashes a party in Montréal.  She is full of all the popular clichés about Montréal and Montrealers - Latin, unrestrained, full of "joie de vivre."  She knows nobody and does not understand a word of French. 

This results in her frequently taking her expectations for realities, and results in some rather astonishing and amusing repartees.
