Plot
Urbain Donnadieu, CEO of a prefabricated house company, was raised by his grandmother Zézette, in the cult of profit. Stingy of first class, he has stolen 60,000 francs per day from his company, that he transformed in gold bars. He plans on transporting them to Switzerland. So he decides to hide the gold bars in the bricks of one of the houses that he must deliver, an idea that he is going to regret. Everything would go well if his wife Fleurette, a tax agent, and her lover Jacques, chauffeur and Urbain's best friend, would get involved in this plan.
