As he prepares to preside over the double wedding of Miss Jane Bennette and Mr. Charles Bingley, and Miss Lizzy Bennette and Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, the pontifical Vicar Collins sets about telling us “how it all began.” With Collins, we go back in time... It’s dusk, May 1926— and Mr. Bingley, his snobbish sister Caroline, and his close friend, the brooding Mr. Darcy, wander the back alleys of Montmartre in search of this new “jazz” they’ve heard so much about. Fortuitously, they meet sisters Elizabeth (Lizzy) and Jane Bennette on their way to work. The girls invite the tourists in to Le Moulin Bleu, the Bennette family’s cabaret.
