Synopsis

[edit]

Jules Duraton is the local schoolmaster and lives with his family, but he is infuriated by a radio show of an identical name which he believes has made his family a laughing stock. He decides to sue the broadcasters. Matters are complicated when the lawyer hired by the radio company falls in love with Jules Duraton's daughter Solange.
