Synopsis
Romain a été une des plus grandes stars du milieu comique. Mais cette époque étant définitivement révolue, plus aucun de ses spectacles ne fait recette. Ayant déjà dépensé toute sa fortune puis vendu de fait sa belle propriété, il se voit contraint de postuler chez un énième producteur dont l'entretien se solde sans surprise par un cuisant échec. En même temps que sa carrière, c'est sa famille et ses amis, sauf le "souffre-douleur" Lucchino et tout le reste qui l'abandonnent... sans compter sur sa maîtresse qui n'a cesse de le cribler de reproches et sur un indicateur lancé à ses trousses.Actors

Pierre Gastié-Leroy (Pierre Richard) is the son of a wealthy director of a factory of weapon manufacturing (Bernard Blier). Despite his parents, two generous uncles and a bishop godfather who try to inculcate him the rigid values of his social level, Pierre is a dreamer, antimilitaristic, social educator who dreams of saving three thugs, his "little guys" at the limit of delinquency. After several resounding failures that sent him to prison, Pierre is ordered by his father to join his factory to direct the social service. Tired of the venality of his father and the foolishness of the "little guys", Pierre hires them at the factory. They will have fun making mischief and being overzealous to convince the supervisors on increasing the working rhythms, denouncing the trade union leaders, battling a strike and finally, stealing 500 tanks to sell them back to the black market. A demonstration of new remote-controlled missiles attended by the Minister for Defence turns into fiasco.
