The main character of the story, Rene Gallimard, works as an accountant for the French Embassy in Beijing, who becomes infatuated with Song Liling, a Chinese singer. They have a passionate and indecent affair, which leaves Song supposedly pregnant with Gallimard's child. Outraged by the mistake, she leaves Beijing.

M. Butterfly is in the right sense about transformation of sexes and how erotic love plays with their emotions. The play and the movie adaptation both explore the nature of curiousity and desire between two men that ends in tragedy.
