Convinced that the concession is a fake, Monestier decides to sell it on to a friend of the family, the naive millionaire Antoine Brévin. Antoine wants to marry his daughter, Patricia. However, Patricia has a different opinion on the matter. She manages to persuade the car delivery guy, Simon Guilbaud, to pretend to be her husband.

a comedy with Louis de Funes who seems be written by Moliere. nothing complicated but lovely at whole. its secret - the perfect use of characters types, the best ingredients for a comedy with a lot of flavors and, sure, Louis de Funes. not the story is interesting but the science of details. not the acting itself but the art to remember Commedia d' Arte. sure, de Funes is great and that fact could be a real surprise. but the chance to have the perfect partners - Mireille Darc , Roger Dumas, Philippe Nicaud - in a role who reminds the characters of Cary Grant - and, especially, Jaquelin Mailland and Christian Marin , is the essence of this film who represent, in fact, a piece from the French comedy.
