Plot synopsis
Coco is a frivolous young man who enjoys all kinds of entertainment and pleasures. He has no practical sense, which greatly upsets his dear uncle, the good man Ponsonnet, who often lectures his nephew for his inability to secure a stable job and settle down to earn a lasting living and no longer depend on the material help from relatives. Coco has a friend, the charming Lilette, just as carefree and, of course, incapable of any serious undertaking. She is a lorette (1) from the Saint-Michel district, a disinterested young girl who suffers from kleptomania. It is an almost incurable chronic disease. The uncle is going to intrigue to put lead in Coco's head. But see you smart and a half...
(1) A lorette is a young girl of modest origins with easy morals.
