Louis Bourdin, a humble ticket puncher on the Paris metro, has written a book which describes a train robbery.  When he tries to get the book published, he is turned down again and again, because no one believes that the story is remotely plausible.  Determined to prove his detractors wrong, Bourdin decides to enact the scenario in his book.  To that end, he recruits a gang of real-life crooks to help him pull off the robbery...
