Synopsis
Pinglet, a building entrepreneur married to an unattractive woman, is in love with the wife of his friend and partner, architect Paillardin. When he has to leave, Madame Paillardin, tired of her husband's cavalier attitude, agrees to the secret rendezvous set by Pinglet. The two end their evening in a rundown hotel, the hotel of free exchange. What they don't know is that Paillardin is also there. Moreover, no one suspects that the hotel is also the meeting place for Pinglet's maid and Paillardin's nephew. Finally, no one knows that Mathieu, a friend from the province who came to Paris with his four daughters, is also staying at the hotel of free exchange. The stage is thus set for a multiplication of lies and misunderstandings.
