Synopsis

Bernard Milan, the second-in-command of France's Counter-Espionage department, is out to discredit his chief Louis Toulouse so that he can supplant him. When a French heroin smuggler who has been arrested in New York claims that the drug smuggling was a secret mission on the orders of French Counter-Espionage (actually on Milan's orders), the resulting bad press reflects on Toulouse, who cannot prove that Milan was responsible. In retaliation, Toulouse hatches a plot to deal with his ambitious subordinate: in a room which he knows is filled with hidden microphones, he sends his assistant Perrache to Orly airport at 9:30AM the next morning, making Milan (who has been listening) believe that Perrache has gone to meet a master spy who will expose Milan's treachery. However, Toulouse secretly instructs Perrache to choose someone at random from the crowd of travelers arriving at that time.

Alexandre, homme bon vivant et nonchalant, est cultivateur dans une ferme française de la Beauce. Cependant sa vie quotidienne est dirigée par « la Grande », son ambitieuse mais néanmoins tyrannique épouse, qui le pousse à bout de force en lui imposant chaque jour une liste de travaux démesurée. Devenu brutalement veuf, il éprouve un grand soulagement et se sent libéré de son labeur : il décide de s'accorder un repos qu'il juge mérité, afin de prendre le temps de savourer la vie. Son comportement sème rapidement le trouble dans le petit village par l'exemple qu'il donne, et une partie des habitants décide de le forcer à reprendre le travail. Mais ils échouent, et Alexandre commence à faire des émules…
