Honorin est régisseur du théâtre Cascaroni qui affiche le spectacle François Ier à son programme. Chargé de remplacer un comédien défaillant, mais mort de trac, il s'endort chez son ami Cagliostro (qui l'a hypnotisé pour lui enlever son trac), mage des foires, et se réveille quelques siècles en arrière, à la cour du roi de France François Ier, son Petit Larousse à la main. Ce merveilleux atout littéraire lui permet de prédire l'avenir au grand désarroi de certains intrigants de la cour. Les questions que le roi et ses courtisans lui posent sont parfois saugrenues: ainsi il doit donner les ingrédients entrant dans la recette de la Mortadelle, spécialité à laquelle les Français ont pris goût lors des Guerres d'Italie, et que les cuisiniers français sont incapables de préparer. Ce livre capable de prévoir le destin (il donne la date de la mort des personnages en vue de l'époque) lui vaut une accusation de sorcellerie montée par une cabale de courtisans jaloux. Supplicié (une chèvre vient lui lécher les pieds en déclenchant un inextinguible fou-rire qui menace de l'asphyxier), il va bientôt se réveiller dans son siècle pour constater que la vie était bien plus belle en 1520. Pour cela, il retourne voir son ami Cagliostro.

Bob Cratchit (David Warner), a clerk employed by Scrooge, comments that Marley has been dead for seven years, but is gruffly ordered to return to work by Marley's surviving partner, Ebenezer Scrooge (George C. Scott). Bob then attempts to add some coal to an almost nonexistent fire, but is stopped by Scrooge, who gives him a curt and cutting lecture on clothing as protection against the cold, and that "coal burns; coal is fleeting, and coal is costly". Scrooge then declares that there will be no more coal burned in the office that day, and orders Cratchit to return to work lest he be fired.
