Nicolas Mallet is a shy bank employee who is surprised by his audacity when one day he chats up a young woman in the street. When he hears of this, his friend Claude, a somewhat sour writer, offers him a strange proposal. Under his guidance, Nicholas will climb the social ladder, seducing as many women as necessary so that he can become super-rich. Having thrown his bank job, Nicholas makes a start by seducing Roberte, the wife of an academic. Nicholas then finds himself the personal associate of Lourceuil, a wealthy businessman.
