Content
Pretty young Rebelle likes to live alone, eat jam with eggs and pick her nose if she feels
like it. She’s so attached to her freedom that marriage is out of the question! To get rid of
her admirers, she makes herself ugly: a witch’s hooked nose, face cream with a greenish
tint… she’ll try anything! Soon there are no more admirers at her door. But as the days go
by, Rebelle starts to get bored.
So she decides to get herself a husband. That’s when she meets Gaston, who, like her,
has made himself ugly for a quiet life. Disgusted, the young girl runs off. Fortunately,
Gaston manages to catch her, and now Rebelle and Gaston are in love! To find happiness
together, they decide to continue doing exactly as they please. Well, almost…
