Le carrosse du marquis de Sombreuil renverse un badaud sur la route. L'homme meurt peu après et laisse sa fille orpheline. Le Marquis se sentant coupable tente d'aider la jeune fille. Mais sa maîtresse Irène ne voit pas cette soudaine marque d'intérêt d'un très bon oeil.

In his will, the late Jérôme Armandy has expressed the wish to have all the surviving members of his family summoned to the Château de l'Etang, in Provence. Firmin, Jérôme's servant, asks Claude, a Montmartre artist, to organize the reunion, to find the sum of 17 million francs which is hidden there (as a child he had been told by Armandy where the hiding place was) and to divide the amount between the different heirs. But a series of odd facts occur: Claude is knocked unconscious as he is busy opening the hiding place door; one of the heirs gets killed; and even more astounding, the dead man reappears and... asks his money back!

Quatre jeunes artistes vivent ensemble dans le Quartier latin, partageant avec leurs petites amies l'insouciance et la gaîté de la vie de bohème.
