Riche confiseur romain, M. Dupont est fier d'exhiber sa voiture neuve. Il rêve de la conduire avec, à ses côtés, la belle locataire du premier étage. L'occasion lui en est donnée par la nécessité d'aller chercher la robe de première communion de sa fille, qui n'est toujours pas livrée. Mais la ravissante voisine refuse cette offre. C'est donc seul que M. Dupont fonce dans les rues, attrape une contravention et arrive chez la couturière. Mais au moment de repartir, la voiture tombe en panne. Course aux taxis. Impossible d'en avoir un. Reste le trolleybus. Cris, bousculades, injures. Pour être plus libre de ses mouvements, il confie le paquet contenant la robe à un passant pour quelques instants. Mais la dispute terminée, le passant a disparu et la robe avec. Que faire ? C'est finalement la belle du premier qui offre une de ses robes de soirée pour y tailler la robe de communiante. Tout le monde s'affaire. Le cardinal doit arriver d'une minute à l'autre pour présider la cérémonie. M. Dupont tente vainement de retarder celle-ci. Grâce à l'adresse brodée par la couturière, la vraie robe est ramenée par le passant. Soulagement. Sonnent les cloches de ce jour de Pâques.
