From three successive marriages, Loys Erland has had three sons who
could hardly be more different. Charles is a committed sportsman,
Marcel runs a bank and Pierre is a talented young composer. All
three meet Huguette and try to make love to her. Charles appears
to be the favourite, but Huguette makes an unexpected departure.
The three brothers emerge from this adventure unscathed, their
friendship strengthened.
