The Sucker

“The funniest fraud a fall-guy ever fell for!”

Antoine Maréchal (Bourvil), a shopkeeper bound for an Italian holiday, has his car wrecked in a crash with Léopold Saroyan (Louis de Funès). Léopold makes it up to him by offering to drive an American friend's car from Naples to Bordeaux. Gérard Oury sends the pair up the road in a car loaded with stolen money, jewelry and drugs, and Antoine has no idea the milieu now has him in its sights.
