Franck Poupart is a door-to-door salesman. His wife leaves him when she finds out he got involved with an underage prostitute named Mona. Then he gets sacked and imprisoned for embezzlement. Mona bails him out and persuades him to rob her rich aunt. However, his streak of bad luck (série noire in French) continues, for his still-upset wife returns unannounced and comes across the booty.
