Julien Pauphilat spent many years working as a porter at the famous Maxim's restaurant in Paris. It proved a very lucrative job and he has now retired and bought a chateau in the countryside.

However, one of his former regulars at Maxim's now moves to the area and begins courting Julien's daughter, to his discomfort.
