Justin, a lyricist, and his composer friend Pierre live bohemian lives in Paris. Believing his mother Josefa is wealthier than she appears, Justin schemes to swindle three million centimes from her, using Pierre as an intermediary and an insolvent check. Josefa discovers the ruse and refuses to help. Meanwhile Pierre uncovers the identity of Justin’s long‑absent father; with Josefa’s reluctant assistance, the two friends try to extract the missing money from the ashamed, repentant patriarch.
