A penniless adventurer, Eddie Morgan survives on his wits and good humor. He's a bluffer. To help the owner of an oil field, he launches a vast investment campaign, with the help of a few friends, to benefit the French people. A rival group, led by Serge Colonna and Dominique Ardan, tried to buy the land from him, because according to an expert, there was no oil to exploit.
