Shopkeeper Victor Garnier has naively invested his family's life savings in an African mine, on his banker's recommendation. When the mine is nationalized, rendering the stock worthless, he considers himself shamelessly robbed by the bank; it seems only fair to him to return the 'favor' and rob the bank, teaming up with the whole family as they were all duped. Even for professionals such an enterprise -he decides to dig a tunnel- is quite demanding, but for simple commoners it's daunting, as they also have their personal downsides; thus Victor's wife has a most unwelcome tendency to blurt out the truth, even to the grumpy local copper: a crazy risk when you need to keep a criminal plan secret.

Victor Garnier a perdu presque toutes ses économies en suivant les indications du directeur de la banque. Maintenant il n'a plus de sous. Mais une idée géniale lui vient à l'esprit: si la banque lui a volé son argent, lui-même volera la banque, creusant une galerie à partir de sa cave avec l'aide de tous les gens de sa famille. Mais les problèmes qui surviennent sont nombreux: comment creuse-t-on, où envoie-t-on la terre et ainsi de suite. En plus, chaque membre de la famille a ses problèmes, on ne doit pas susciter de soupçons, il y a un policier fouineur et des parents inattendus débarquent... est-ce qu'il y arrivera?
