Summary
One Saturday night, two young men named Freddy and Joseph meet by
chance on the banks of the River Seine. Both have the same
objective in mind: chasing women. Freddy, a decorator, claims to
have experience with girls and knows how to seduce them. Joseph, a bank
employee, dreams of getting married and starting a family. They
decide to stick together and off they go, to trawl Paris for a nice bit
of skirt. At the Invalides, they meet the out-going
Dénise, but she is clearly only after a one night stand.
In Saint-Germain-des-prés, our likely lads appear to strike
lucky with Dadou and Sylviane, but they beat a hasty retreat when it
becomes apparent that these two wily lasses only want someone to pay
for their drinks. The night is still young and Freddy and Joseph
are still hopeful that they can get what they want before the evening
is out...
