Summary

André Loriot works at the Psycho-Chemistry Laboratories, whose slogan "A good mood makes for good health" is borne out by the firm’s successful anti-stress pill. One day, André finds that he could make good use of such a pill. Having overslept and earned himself a parking ticket, he ends up being stuck in a traffic jam. He arrives late for an appointment to see a new apartment, thereby upsetting his fiancée Juliette. Back at the office, his boss asks him to take all the phone calls from his wife while he is away at a supposed business lunch. His own lunch is spoiled, resulting in another contretemps with Juliette. With other misfortunes heading his way, André will soon wish that he had stayed in bed...
