At a cafe he happens to visit, Gerry meets Henri, who wants to be a showman but is unable to tell his parents about his dream, and Adam, an American ex-soldier who wants to be a composer despite a leg wound from the last war. The three aspiring artists hit it off and form a strong friendship. Jerry visits the Ballet de Chatelet, where Adam is rehearsing for a sketch, and is reunited with Liz, the woman he fell in love with that day.
