Madame Célerier is determined to marry off her son François to a rich and haughty woman but François has other plans.

Some try to travel around the world with a time constraint, but Lavarède has to perform an even harder task than Phineas Fogg. His assignment is to go around the globe with a mere five cents coin. Worse, he can't even spend it or else he will not come into the money of his inheritance. To make sure Lavarède plays by the rules of the game, two supervisors stick to him like a shadow. Will the young man meet this unbelievable challenge?

Lily is in love, but with a man she has never seen. She and Erich both work as switchboard operators, she in Paris, he in Berlin. They talk to each other every day and now they are hopelessly in love. Finally, they decide to meet up in Paris. Lily has a photograph of Erich and so is surprised when the man who meets her at the station looks nothing like the man she had been expecting. Not realising that the man is an impostor, Lily allows herself to be courted by him. Meanwhile, Erich has mistaken another woman, Annette, for Lily, and ends up seeing far more than he expected to on a first date. The weekend adventure over, Lily and Erich return to their humdrum lives, only to be dismissed by their employers for their unorthodox method of cementing Franco-German relations over the phone. Just when all seems lost, Fate conspires to bring the two young lovers together...
