Comedy
aka: The Itchy Palm
Film Synopsis
A wealthy widow lends 100 thousand francs to a man named Lécuyer so that he can send his son to the country. In reality, Lécuyer gives this money to his mistress so that she can have an abortion. It turns out that the mistress is not pregnant and she gives the money to another lover so that he can buy a scooter. The latter uses the unexpected windfall to seduce a young woman whom he mistakes to be wealthy. If this goes on, it is not inconceivable that the wealthy widow will end up getting her money back...!© James Travers
