Oscar
The soap manufacturer Pierre Barnier is awakened one morning by his employee Albert Leroi, not because the company is on fire, but because he demands a salary increase. And it’s three times his current salary! Barnier is shocked. Unfortunately, this is just the beginning; a few minutes later, Leroi confesses to embezzling millions. Now Barnier wants to call the police. Then Leroi also confesses that he has been having an affair with Barnier's daughter for years and simultaneously asks for her hand in marriage. Now Barnier is at his wit's end. The daughter is summoned, happily professes her love, and to speed things up, claims to be expecting a child. Barnier's situation seems hopeless, but there is a glimmer of hope.
It turns out that the girl Leroi wants to marry is not actually the soap manufacturer's daughter, but has just pretended to be her. The real daughter, along with the invented baby, means her love is not for Leroi, but for the chauffeur Oscar. However, Oscar was dismissed by Barnier three days ago and, in desperation, has joined the foreign legion. When Leroi reappears with the suitcase containing the embezzled millions, the maid also comes on stage with a suitcase. She has hijacked the baron, once chosen by Barnier as a son-in-law, and now wants to say goodbye to the family. During her exit, she naturally confuses the suitcases – the millions are gone. This indeed perfects the chaos, but…
