On the eve of his wedding, Robert decides to make full use of his last few hours of freedom by attending the France v. England rugby match at Twickenham.  Rather than tell his future wife the truth, he pretends to be away visiting a sick aunt.  If only he knew how much trouble would ensue from this one little white lie...  During the football match, Robert is hit by another supporter and loses two of his teeth.  Finding a dentist in England at the weekend is not the easiest of tasks but luckily Robert manages to find one who can patch him up.  After the operation, the dentist tells him that he must not open his mouth for two hours.  In the waiting room, Robert cannot help slipping into the uniform of a policeman who is being treated.  Mistaken for a real policeman, Robert comes to the aid of an actress who is being assaulted by a maniac.  When the victim insists on being photographed with him, Robert takes flight, certain that his adventures are far from over.  Just why couldn't he have stayed back home in Paris...?
