...success that one never notices. The irrepressible Fernandel plays a harrassed husband who feels that his real calling is women's fashions. One of his extra-curricular conquests leaves him the controlling interest in a fashion house that is on the skids, and amidst great swish and swirl our hero conquers the world of fashion. And with the usual amorous byplay, all comes out well...
...breakfast with his economist wife in their modest, government-owned home on the Venusburg overlooking Bonn. Heading for his Bonn headquarters, he dictates speeches as he rides, often stops off at a local market to check prices personally. As the Mercedes 300 lurches up to the entrance in a swirl of dust, his driver tries to get out and open the door.

He smokes too much (three packs of Camels a day), is still gnawed by nerves before every broadcast; even in the air-conditioned studio, doing his radio show, he drips sweat and jiggles his legs...
