An elderly professional French crook (Mr. Rosenberg / Léonard Chomsky) who would do anything including cross-dressing to commit his mischiefs manages to make his way as "Mrs. Mills" into the home of Hélène Mercier, a workaholic woman obsessed with books. There, he discovers an invualuable object inherited from her grandmother which she would not sell. Mercier is a head of publishing looking for "an optimistic heroine" whom she found in Mrs. Mills.
