Film Synopsis
Antoine Letourneur, 14, is delighted when he is taken on as a telegram delivery boy at the Panthéon post office. He is even more pleased with himself when he finds he must take a message to Herriot, an important politician. But in his haste he drives his bike into a lorry. When he comes to his senses, he realises that the bag he was carrying has disappeared. He struggles in vain to find the vital message. Then, seeing his distress, several people come to his aid: a little girl named Amélie, a police inspector, a school headmaster... In no time at all, everyone in Paris seems to be looking for the lost telegram...© James Travers
