Summary
Musician Pierre Corneille and songwriter Justin Truculia are delighted
when they receive their first paycheque for a song they have written
together. Opening a bank account with the pittance they have
earned, they hit on a plan that will bring them far more money.
Justin writes out a cheque to Pierre for three million francs.
When the bank refuses to pay out this sum, Pierre calls on Josefa,
Justin’s wealthy mother, warning her that unless she pays up, her son
will be sent to prison. The plan backfires when it turns out that
Josefa is not as rich as she claims to be...
