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...
