Summary
André Duroc, a luckless inventor, has a plan to extort some
money from his wealthy aunt, Solange. He intends to pass his
friend Luc off as a Duke, when in fact he is nothing more than a
nightclub porter. Aunt Solange believes that by inviting a member
of the aristocracy to her château she will improve her chances of
being elected honorary president of the league of rites and
customs. When André’s scam is uncovered, Luc leaves the
château in a hurry and somehow gets entangled in some military
manoeuvres...
