Mimi wants to get his play produced and Count Paul offers to help, but there is a terrible fight when Rodolphe thinks that Mimi is faithless to him with Count Paul. He does not know that he has been discharged from writing for 'Dog and Cat Fanciers'. Rodolphe and Mimi fall in love and Mimi works endlessly to support Rodolphe who is writing his play with a new found passion. But Count Paul also has his lusting eye on Mimi and uses her embroidery to get close to her. Fortunately, Musette from downstairs has enough food for everyone including Mimi - the poor little waif from next door who Rodolphe has met. An article here, a painting there and a monkey with a cup gives them enough money for the rent, but not for food. It is 1830 in Paris and the rent is due, but the money is not there. A group of starving artists try to survive in 1830s Paris, including a seamstress and the would-be playwright she loves.
