In Paris, Pilou is an exterior decorator who always sings while he works.  He sings even though he is sad at having left his girlfriend Yvette in the village where he grew up.  To pass the time, Pilou looks through the windows of the different apartments of the building he is painting.  One day, he saves the life of Fernande.  She wanted to kill herself after being abandoned by her lover, Albert, who has started an affair with Renée.  Having become friends, Pilou tells Fernande that he will bring Albert back to her.  In another apartment lives Paul, an artist who is very much in love with Renée.  He makes his living painting panels for a certain Sabourdat, who passes off Paul’s work as his own.  Pilou has a wonderful idea to save Fernande and Paul’s futures...
