Synopsis
Garage attendant Louis Stainval is a shy daydreamer with no money.
One day, he wins a large sum of money via the national lottery and
decides to spice up his life. He prevents a failed artist named
Raoul Grandvivier from killing himself and takes him home. Here,
Louis meets Raoul’s beautiful daughter Lucie and immediately falls in
love. So that he can go on seeing Lucie, Louis pays frequent
calls on Raoul, ostensibly to buy his paintings. The
paintings are so bad that Louis just throws them into the river
Seine. Because he has found someone to buy his work, Raoul begins
to believe that he is a serious painter. This misunderstanding
will cause a great deal of trouble...
