Synopsis

Eusèbe Bonbonneau, a solicitor's clerk, discovers that a candidate is running for Chamber of Deputies. It becomes clear that a corrupt businessman is pushing a candidate, having usurped his identity, in order to secure backing for a new casino project. The real Eusèbe goes to Paris to investigate and is persuaded by the flamboyant actress Mariska to really stand in the election. He wins and is elected as a deputy where he becomes an unwitting tool of corrupt interests.
