Film Synopsis

Alfred Gaudoin, a factory owner, intends to marry one of his secretaries, Lucie.  To avoid a scandal, he must first dismiss Lucie, so that he can propose to her the next day.  Things do not go as planned.  When she hears she has lost her job, Lucie becomes so depressed that she decides to kill herself by drowning.  She is rescued at the last moment by a young man named Gaston, who insists that she accompany him back to his apartment, where he is hosting a lively party.  Gaston's return with a strange young woman immediately arouses the interests of his guests and causes his girlfriend Bertrande to be consumed with jealousy.  Lucie's distressed state of mind and a few glasses of alchohol make a disastrous cocktail and Gaston's household is soon taken over by pandemonium...
