Synopsis
ROBINSON'S PLACE: Two young Parisians spend a night on the town in Montparnasse, bar-hopping and staring at women. When they encounter a young mother recently separated from her husband, they take her to a couple of dancehalls, but failing to seduce her, they steal her wallet and jokingly dismiss the theft by rationalizing that it will pay for their drinks. They are too guilt-ridden to keep the wallet, however, and finally return it to her in the mail. SANTA CLAUS HAS BLUE EYES: Daniel belongs to a group of French teenagers who spend their time hanging around streets, stealing books, looking for money, and daydreaming about sexual adventures. One day a photographer gives Daniel a job in which he dresses up as Santa Claus and poses with people who pay to have their picture taken with him. Aided by the disguise, he is able to flirt with numerous women, earn enough money to buy a new coat, and pay for a visit to the local bordello. Although he convinces a young woman to date him, he loses her when she sees him without his disguise.
