Fernand is a good-for-nothing who takes part in radio competitions in the hope of winning the prizes on offer.  One day, he persuades a sympathetic young man named Philippe to take his place in one such competition, Cent francs par seconde, insisting that if Philippe wins he, Fernand, will receive a share of the winnings.  Fernand is certain that Philippe will win because, after suffering a head injury, he has somehow acquired the ability to answer every question he is asked successfully.  Sure enough, Philippe repeatedly wins the radio competition and threatens to ruin the man who organises it, the man who happens to be the father of the girl he loves...
