Synopsis
Aristocrat Jean Lerat, recently called for military service, expects special considerations, particularly as his aunt has spoken of him to the colonel, a family friend. His hopes remain unfulfilled, however, and his snobbery makes him the butt of his comrades' merriment. By coincidence, his chauffeur, Joseph, is drafted into the same unit and now treats Jean as an equal. Joseph obtains leave to visit the Nice Carnival while his former master must remain on guard duty. Jean meets the colonel's daughter, Catherine, and a timid relationship develops between them. Gradually, Jean rids himself of his pretensions and becomes integrated into the group. In a performance of Tire au flanc given in celebration of the completion of basic training, Jean plays a valet and Joseph his master. The show is a great success; Jean's performance is a hit, and he wins Catherine's love.
