Synopsis
Monsieur Armand appears to be a respectable man and is the owner of a
large house in Paris. He is in fact a gangster who bought the
house with money from a hold-up a few years back. He keeps the
rest of the money hidden in a room full of birds and rents out the
other rooms to various tenants. Mademoiselle Lucie works in a
cabaret. She loves money, which she obtains by playing the part
of mistress to Louis the butcher. The money that Louis gives her
soon finds its way to her other lover, an Italian who is too lazy to
work. Meanwhile, Louis’s wife Antoinette has her eye on his
money, which she needs to buy a guitar for Jojo, the young man who
works for Louis and to whom she is obviously attracted. Finally,
there is is Mademoiselle Pain, an old woman in a wheelchair who
pretends she cannot walk and makes up stories about money she has
hidden somewhere in the house. When Mlle Pain dies, the police
are suspicious and pay more than one visit to M. Armand...
