Plot:
Four friends and former HEC Paris classmates — Thierry, Gérard, Francis and Daniel — attend an evening event at their school. Gérard and Thierry are business partners who are accused of stealing a safe from a wealthy tycoon. A practical joke backfires when they convince their colleague Daniel that he has won the lottery. The owner of the safe calls the police, who pursue the two. They steal the safe a second time to cover the money lost in the first burglary. Monique, a sultry police commissioner and former girlfriend of the robbery victim, investigates the bizarre case.
