Synopsis


Gustave Lorillon, a valet, is a superb player at contract bridge, provoking the jealousy of his master, who dismisses him. However Gustave continues to play as part of a club who are unaware of his lowly background. When they discover he is a servant, they snobbishly reject him, although they come to realise they desperately need his talents. In the process of winning the tournament he also gets together with Antonia, an attractive foreigner also coveted by his ex-employer.
