In the early 1900s, Jules Auguste Duroc has invented a revolutionary new bicycle which he hopes will make his fortune.  Unfortunately, he has managed to bankrupt himself before he can profit from his invention.  When the over-zealous bailiff Léon Charles Mulot calls at his shop, Duroc makes a hasty retreat on his bicycle, and ends up at the starting line of the Paris to San Remo cycle race.  The adventure has only just begun!
