Synopsis

Julien Pauphilat spent many years working as a porter at the famous Maxim's restaurant in Paris. It proved a very lucrative job and he has now retired and bought a chateau in the countryside. He has always told his daughter he is an industrialist and he has acquired a reputation amongst his new neighbours. However, one of his former regulars at Maxim's now moves to the area and begins courting Julien's daughter, to his discomfort.
