Zoé, une jolie fille désargentée, décide sur les conseils de sa voisine, de se lancer dans la galanterie. Après un bref échec, elle fait la connaissance d'un jeune garçon, Jacques Lebreton qui est sur le point de se marier. Après avoir provoqué l'échec de ce mariage arrangé, elle va devoir jouer le rôle d'épouse de Jacques auprès de sa famille, jusqu'à l'arrivée de l'oncle d'Amérique.
Because she had problems with a sour-tempered customer ,Zoé is fired from her shop assistant job.The rent ,as everybody knows ,is always due and she has no penny to her name;after a failed suicide attempt ("I did not like the smell of gas"),she asks her best friend Liliane to teach her the tricks of her trade (she is a prostitute).She intends to become a kept woman ,but ,in spite of her neighbor's pieces of advice,she neglects an American millionaire and gets into a driving-instructor's car. After a car crash ,she meets Jacques ,who is about to get married (but does not want to) ;helped by a capricious little boy they pass off as their son ,Jacques and Zoé pretend to have a child ,so that he cannot marry the angry fiancee .But the coming of an uncle who became the king of uranium in America (and probably to thank God ,became a Quaker)will make a difference.
