Storyline
Louis is a hard working but crazy Paris taxi driver.

The customs check at the border is pretty thorough, and the two men have some trouble smuggling in the tobacco they need while on holiday. Next to them in the customs hall is a beautiful blonde, who is smuggling a priceless stolen diamond into Spain.

A young Louis de Funes . Familiar gags, as roots for later films. Good performances and a predictable , lovely story. Adventure, humor, Spain and diamonds. And, sure, nostalgia . A film who has as source of seduction the old air , more simple and honest. And, sure , a charming perspective about life. So, sketches and travel. More naive. But pieces of a perfect nice comedy.
